while I applaud your efforts I think you are going to do nothing but waste your time and money. Here is why:
1. The RIAA has sued over 17,000 different people for illegally sharing music. They have won big judgments against some of these people yet music trading is stronger than ever. How many lawsuits are you personally willing to finance? 10, 100, 1000 or more? If the powerful RIAA can't stop people from doing this type of stuff, I doubt a few angry webmasters can.
2. You are not the FBI so you can't throw anyone in jail for 2257 violations. I have said all along many of the tube sites are in full violation of the 2257 laws, but it seems they don't care. And even if you were to turn these uploaders into the FBI they didn't produce the movie and they aren't publishing it on their website the are simply uploading it to someone's website so I have a feeling they would not be required to have 2257 docs.
I think going after the surfers is going to only waste your time and money and get you nowhere. If it were me I would start at the head of the dragon, not at its tail. Go after a few smaller tube sites that have illegal content on them and send a message. If you win you can build momentum and use that to go after the larger ones.
Just my 2 cents
