Excuse me, but are you aware of how ridiculous this is? That means if someone had a copyright violation on Wikipedia and they were an editor on Wikipedia and they sent a take-down notice we'd respond by blocking them? Are you aware of how ridiculous that sounds? Granted sending take-down notices is not the best way of handling this sort of situation, but the idea of blocking someone who is legitimately protecting copyright seems a bit... off. The no legal threats rule is primarily for dealing with things like libel suits that are directed at other editors.
