Here is a fun little year-end wrap-up from TorrentFreak about the [URL=http://torrentfreak.com/the-top-20-dmca-cease-and-desist-senders-of-2010-101227/]Top 20 DMCA Cease and Desist Senders of 2010[/URL]. As a rule of thumb DMCA notices are sent in bulk and dozens are sent on a monthly basis. Using data from ChillingEffects (a clearing house for such orders), TorrentFreak found that 12,000 cease and desist notices were issued in 2010.

According to ChillingEffects stats, IFPI, who represents the international music industry, issued the most DMCA takedown notices in the last 12 months. A total of 1272 were sent to various sites. While that might not seem like a lot, many of these notices contained multiple URLs.

In second place was Clube do Hardware, the largest site in South America to publish tutorials, articles and news on computer hardware. That site issued 303 complaints.
