My main point is that you're more likely to get people to act on good faith if you fail to comply with 17 USC 512 (the law lobbied for by the MPAA for content protection purposes) if you're polite about it. If you're an asshole about things, and there's anything that can be nitpicked, it probably will be. With us anyway, to cover our own asses (since we're a Canadian company), we're
voluntarily complying with the DMCA, as there isn't a comparable Canadian law. Anyway, call us thieves if you want, it just shows that you're completely ignorant of the situation.
