Doesn't matter how they were posted. If they were, and there is a valid notice, the action is to expeditiously remove them, notify the poster and let the poster decide if they want to counter-notice and contest it.

All the second guessing in the world is irrelevant to a fight between two people (TI and the key-poster), neither of which are the WMF, and presumably neither of which are you. This is not our battle to fight.

The Foundation is not the "person" required to send the counter notice, nor do they have the freedom or the obligation to involve themselves in a copyright dispute between TI and another user. It's not their determination to make whether the action is necessary or not.
