That is the complaint in question, Danbooru is #8. I just figured I'd bring it up to your guy's attention since I've poked around the internet and saw absolutely no one talking about it, so I wasn't sure if you all knew about it. The block removed Danbooru from showing up in any searches, period.

This was briefly mentioned here but that's about it, and it seems like not all searches are blocked.
Dammit, I looked. I guess I missed that one. Sorry.
I suspect that the agent behind this campaign is not a company or an anti-porn activist, but a doujinshi artist with a deep grudge against pirates. Looking at the Lumen records for the mysterious "Copyright Legal Services INC" entity, one notices that they only started sending out complaints on May 20 this year. Their first takedown request lists "sugaishi.blog.fc2.com" as one of two "Original URLs". I got the full "Allegedly Infringing URLs" for one of the requests that affected Danbooru, and the only specific tag searches they include are for the artist tags sugaishi and homunculus_(artist) (apparently an affiliate of Sugaishi). It's a pity that Google (and the DMCA itself) is enabling this kind of immoderately vindictive crusade.
Edit: It occurred to me that the campaigner also might be someone with a grudge against Sugaishi, trying to draw negative attention to them.
