So if you're fraudulently accused of wrongdoing that makes you a criminal?

Nice, nice....

My interpretation was "if they'll serve criminals, they won't care if someone accuses you of a crime".

But that doesn't apply to cloudflare hosting so it still comes across as a pointless snipe.

In this case, yes. Ignoring invalid dmca requests is not a legal way to deal with them.

It's completely legal to ignore a DMCA notice. These notices set up a procedure where you're definitely not liable, but it doesn't mean it's the only way to not be liable. You can also not be liable if you - for example - didn't do anything illegal.

What od you mean it's not legal?

If I don't live in the US and/or didn't do whatever the fraudulent DMCA notice accused me of doing, why do I have to process it?

Remember the context.
