Tell them to fuck off and that they’re illegally using the DMCA on a file where the copyright owners themselves offer BitTorrent as a distribution method.
And even if they do give the account holder’s information to the requesting law firm, courts have ruled that an IP isn’t a person and if you want to bring suit against a person, the rights holder needs to identify an individual responsible. Lawyers know this and don’t generally take cases like that, too.
This didn’t happen to OP, and it isn’t recent - look at the report date.
This happened back in 2021 and apparently blew up on Reddit and Twitter, causing OpSec to release a public statement that claimed that the DMCA notice was a fake.

Please don’t repost unsourced/unverified stuff like this. There’s enough intentional misinformation being produced, we don’t need it to be spread.

would be nice if they sued them for filing false dmca claims
Only the copyright holder can do this. Cmon Canonical, tear them a new one.
I think the OP is trolling with this rehashed garbage
