Great post!
It is heartening to see this issue finally get the attention that it deserves.
The group being organized by A1R3K and the rest, has the potential to start turning the tide.
The larger the collective effort the better. This means not just looking out for our own content, but that of others as well, notifying them so that they will hopefully file a DMCA as well.
If GFY does not want to host a specific forum for this, then I recommend a new anti-piracy board be created. It would be good to have separate sections for debating issues, reporting abuse, tips/forms, and tracking addresses for the copyright abusers and their upstream hosts (and making note of those whom fraudulently list such info or do not cooperate).
A pretty good database can be compiled that might be useful in a class action lawsuit of particularly abusive and non-cooperative sites. A scorecard could be kept as well, which would aid in lobbying efforts to enact stricter rules against copyright abuse, not just in the US, but worldwide.
