stealing from content producers to fund parasitic entities that feed off of the adult industry isn't right and doesn't lend to a healthy industry with a future.
so you actually want to go back to having to sue in court, wait for your day in court to get an injunction before any of your content is taken down.

The safe harbor provision is designed to protect fair use. As i pointed out to lady mischief in the previous thread. If i were to take your video, layer in a song "tubes killed the pornstar" and release it as a parody/commentary. The take down request granted by the DMCA would censor my legitimate free expression, if not for the safe harbor provision.
