"... I'll note simply that FunnyJunk does not appear to have a notice ofdesignation on file with the Copyright Office."

If true, that's pretty bad- that means that FunnyJunk's safe harbor status can be challenged (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2))

> notice of designation on file with the Copyright Office

What is that, exactly?

You basically have to have on file with the copyright office an agent designated to handle takedown claims, if you want to qualify for safe harbor provisions.
