If you knock out their processing, and abiltiy to do business (i.e. collect money, pay bandwidth bill). You wipe them out by default.

This is why most will remove your content once you contact them. Yes yes. It would be wonderful if they NEVER used it in the first place. But that is not a reality, anymore than people stop using torrents, stealing music and movies.

You have to hit them where it hurts. Eventually, word gets around, and they stop trying to use your stuff. Once accounts start getting frozen at their hosts, and processors, etc. You will eventually get the point across to stop using your material without permission.

No one company is, or can, police the net against piraracy or content theft. But they can easily police their own IF THEY WANTED TO.
