Anyone who thinks they can throw up all kinds of pirated material and wait for the site owners to find it and DMCA them is wrong.

Exactly! From what I understand DMCA is designed to protect accidental display of copyright material. If you exhibit a habit of profiting from the safe harbor and working your business model off the 48 hour loop hole they look at it different. If they can prove theat they regularly displayed stolen content then it is different. Also these guys took it a step further and had it all behind a members area that you had to pay for which is looked at differently.
