It seems themeforest.net and themeforest.com are owned by an Australian
company, Envato Pty Ltd. The DMCA is a US law, and luckily, it seems
they're not in the US.

Envato has a page on DMCA takedown notices, but I'm not done reading it
yet. None the less, it seems they may respond to DMCA Takedown Notices.

The important thing is that filing a knowingly false DMCA Takedown
Notice can have legal consequences, both civil (read: monetary) and
criminal (read: prison).

Personally, I'd contact ThemeForest/Envato myself to let them know I'm
being harassed with threats of false complaints before the other guy
gets a chance to file his false complaint.
