Swedish embassies based in the US are great places to drop off DMCA notices. Their government not wanting to take action on obvious copyright violation is a real issue, and raising this issue to this level may in fact make a difference.
ISPs and the companies that provide the connections to these sites are very important as well. Working with major peering points to potentially not carry traffic from those IPs, as an example, is another way to gum up the works. Those companies have been very quiet on the issue, but they could act if placed under DMCA notice.
There are many options, many ways to put pressure on the sites and the companies that keep them connected to the net. Mass DMCA notifications on a continuing and ongoing basis is a very good way in my opinion to keep the pressure on them. Failure to take action leaves these companies all open to explain why they have not taken action.
