How Gumroad handles copyright takedowns
Gumroad removes digital products on receipt of a DMCA notice to keep its safe-harbor protection, and repeat notices can affect a creator account. Fraudulent notices are used to take down competing courses, templates, or assets. Gumroad accepts counter-notifications for wrongful takedowns under §512.
Signs a Gumroad copyright notice is fake

The perjury / authorization statements are missing.
