If it's a password file, chances are it's not a nats backend - unless the client never changed over, and then the nats backend wouldn't be able to change the files anyway since the processors do it.
Just because a program was released a few months ago doesn't mean the main site is a few months old - it could be years old.
The majority are still 'old canceled accounts' the mass majority of password leaks once looked up in the processor, are canceled accounts the processor didn't send a cancel notice on. The rest do get a password change, many systems automate it.
Personally I have sent only one DMCA notice, ever. And not for direct piracy but a client. I have promoted on newsgroups, piracy sites, tubes, etc for 10+ years. I have told members that they can download and share the content.
I'm not in that group of people that think piracy or free porn hurt my business, at all. And I still use password sites, fake member areas, trade the traffic off, help rebuild error pages for clients to trap the traffic, and so on...
My efforts aren't to stop piracy or leaks, but to convert the traffic they DO send, why would I take my own in-house traffic away?
