> 1. I run a SaaS browser extension that lets users export table data from any website. *It can bypass some download restrictions*, and I’m not sure if this has ever caused complaints.
It seems like we found the problem. Someone likely filed a DMCA request directly with Vercel and the company complied.
DMCA filings have a legal requirement for the provider to submit notification and receive an appeal, or else the provider may not qualify for the liability protection. That doesn’t rule out other such objections not under DMCA’d banner, but for DMCA specifically they have a legal obligation not to withhold why.
But wouldn't they tell them why then?
They still refuse to provide me with any valuable information to this day, even though I've reached out via email multiple times—and they’ve been polite throughout. Once I finish handling the website migration, I’ll launch a new site to fully document the entire incident and all communication records.
