<blockquote><p>
One of the messages had the subject line Blocked URLs:</p>

This content has been removed from all Google search results.<br/><br />

</p></blockquote>
<p>What now?<br/><br />
I visited the URL and found a fairly tame discussion about Perfect Pitch. Here’s the only part of the discussion that references an external resource in a non-flattering light:<br/></p>
<blockquote><p>
I think that is referring to www.PerfectPitch.com. I’m not saying anything about such commercially-oriented courses because I don’t know them, but I think we’d all be wise to bear in mind the general comments voiced in the first two posts on this thread.
</p></blockquote>
<p>That single reference to a third-party site is, apparently, enough to trigger a DMCA complaint.
