> you know someone's desperate when you see a bogus DMCA claim like this

I don't think this means desperation, it's just these assholes weaponize the law on a regular basis.

Honestly, I usually like to give people the benefit of the doubt. But these Pollen guys seem like grade-A assholes. It is astonishing to me the gall to double charge people on the order or $3.2M and never return the money. I can't bear to not repay someone even a dollar, but intentionally doing stuff like this seems to be run of the mill for these guys. I can't even get in the headspace of people who would do this.
