I got feeling that good old keyword crawlers are to blame. Basically a lot of companies use automated tools to search the web for their content and likely something triggered it and they fired claim without checking against who. Not to mention Content ID system being bit broken too, like at some point if flagged recording of random TV static as copyright violation... So I am pretty sure some automated tools was at play here. I mean there literally are cases where companies even sent takedown notices for their own websites and trailers, as well as more random stuff, like IMDB page of their own movie.
Anyway, I am pretty sure this will get resolved fairly soon, due to size if Sony. But it really is irony how they in a way got to taste their own medicine, since Sony is known to abuse copyright system. Though unlike victims of Sony's abuse, Sony will get this sorted pretty quickly.
