Has anyone filed a DMCA that hasn't been responded to by Mr. Ginsu Yoon? According to the rules, any DMCA to report needs to be faxed or snail mailed to Mr. Yoon at Linden labs. Mine was filed a month ago and yet no word yet from Mr. Yoon or his staff on the progress of my filed DMCA. The reverse would be interesting as well..anyone file a DMCA and get it resolved?
***Clarification*** I filed the DMCA which LL hasn't acknowledged.
**2nd edit** I sent it certified, LL received it 5 days after I sent it.

I've heard of at least a few people who have received DMCA takedown notices for things. Never been on either end of the situation, for myself, thankfully.

I don't know that there is a specific time frame, but the DMCA takedown procedures I've read say that the ISP (LL) must act expeditiously when a takedown notice is received, and notify the complaining party promptly if a counter-notice objecting to the takedown is received. If after receiving this counter-notice, the complaining party does not bring a lawsuit in district court within 14 days, the material in question MUST be re-posted.
I would definitely consider a month to be way too long. If you are serious about it, I suggest you send a letter by registered mail or courier... something where you'll get proof that they received it.
Just a side note for those considering using the DMCA procedure (and not in anyway implying the OP's is not valid!): This is a serious legal claim. If the complaining party is found to have misrepresented their claim, they can be held responsible for any damages to the ISP from the removal of the material. And both the notice and counter-notice are "under oath", meaning parties can be charged with perjury if their statements are not truthful.
