It was a very generic, fill-in-the-blanks takedown request via email that cited the DMCA. It looked like it was probably the standard form that GW uses for all such requests, with the details simply changed to list the specific site and files.
This just reinforces the working theory that someone in GW legal saw the site in their standard internet scans and flagged it, without actually consulting anyone else about the 14-year allowance of AB data files.
