There was a time that you would get hosts to shut them off for this, but now even mainstream hosts like Host Gator don't give a shit because they are not hosting the content on their servers. So sending a DMCA to one of these sites is worthless. Pornbb claims to have a list of sites that you can't post links to, but those sites' links are still all over their site, and they do little to nothing to stop it.

You have a lot more recourse with a tube site, but when it comes to a Rapidshare forum or blog most of them will laugh at your requests, as will the hosts. The good news is most file sharing sites and image hosts will pull the content, even if you aren't the copyright holder. Just send them a generic e-mail with the link to the content on their server and they will pull it, period, no questions asked. They are way too understaffed to investigate every claim, so they just pull them all...
