No promises, of course, but at least they're aware.

But because my site of Van Damme movie reviews (every word of which was written by me) was on Google Sites, it wasn't just delinked from searches, it was fully suspended. I filed an appeal, and week later my site was mysteriously restored. I still have no idea who send the copyright notice or what it was about. And the appeal process is simply a button saying "I appeal". You have no opportunity to make a statement on your own behalf. It's a process that left me confused and concerned that it could happen again at any time. I have a personal experience with Google’s handling of copyright takedown notices.
