We offered him both those options. His reply was it was our problem not his

issue a DMCA takedown request immediately if we did transfer any of his
postings.
I think he is incorrect but at the very worst Mark would handle the
DMCA request for you. Yahoo's stand was that the user had to delete
his own posts, and that may be a reasonable demand upon the
complainer.
You could contact Mark about this and see how this would be handled,
if you really want to make the transfer.
You could also try to thwart the person's attempts to delete all the
posts by telling him that he would have to file a separate request for
each occurrence, with specifics about the message like message number
at the least.
If you want to move the group, I would suggest calling his bluff by
making the transfer, perhaps without advance notice, then make the
announcement in the Yahoo group and shut off all posting and make it
announcement only right away.
Of course, it's up to you what you do. If you think the troublemaker
is worth keeping enough that you'll keep the group on Yahoo, then you
will still have the troublemaker. He may not be a troublemaker, of
course, if you stay with Yahoo, and that's something you'll have to
guess ahead of time.
I just hate to punish the rest of your members with staying with Yahoo
when it's only one member who's pitching a fit. In my eyes that sort
of person isn't an asset to the group anyway.
