DMCA sucks because it essentially enables pirates to use for content until they get caught, and then all they have to do is take it down quickly.
The hosts seem to be immune from action if they comply with your takedown request in a prompt manner.
This does not address the lost revenues, lost opportunities, tainted branding or other damages incurred through unauthorized use of copyrighted content.
DMCA ia wired up to support large companies which often rely on the fresh content the pirates they provide shelter for bring up (and down).
A standard minimum fine (per day per content type) is a necessary addition to DMCA. Then the prospect of retroactive damages would be an actual deterrant.
