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.

I love the idea of a central board where we post copyright issues. Publicly outing company's is really the only true way of getting things done. But take is a step further and get a good law firm behind it also, so once the contents owners finds out about the infringement, they can simply do something about it.

I'm tired of sending out DMCA notices. They cost me time and money, to remove something that has already cost me money. It's time to sue and start making some of this back.

Hell, I send rapidshit a DMCA notice and before they can even respond to it I have 5 new infringements already up or after they take care of it.... (right) Someone just uploads it again under a different file name/ or encoding. I'm sick... I'm tired and I just want to do SOMETHING to get the ball rolling and take care of this issue once and for all. Why are we not going after the actual endusers that are uploading the content in the first place? Porn company's directly suiting some snot nosed shit directly would make the news...
