First off, thanks for running a relay. I didn't script the responses,
because I had to put them into the ISP's web-based ticket system.
However, I literally took the DCMA template and replaced the words in []
with the title of the work and the copyright claimant.  awk/sed are fine
ways to do this as well. This template may not be valid in your country.
People have been creating a more generic response template at
https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorAbuseTemplates.

99% of the time there was no response from the ISP abuse dept, they
simply closed the ticket.
