Well, I didn't say that. I honestly have no clue about most of the people there. However, this Moku guy I DO know about.
All you have to do is run a search, and grab some coffee. It will be awhile.

I have went through those steps before man. So I know. Including faxing complaints to their registrar, hosting, processor, local law enforcement, FBI and Attorney General of their State. I also have a couple forums with vBull licenses. So I know their process.
There is absolutely nothing I love to see more than someone based in the U.S.. Especially those who think that hosting off shore will protect them legally when they live, and are incorporated here.
Now, the problem with this issue is. Few want to spend the money to go the distance. They hire RYC to send DMCA's, which he just pisses on. They do not follow it through to the next step once/repeatedly refused. They do not file a lawsuit.
You see, most of these guys are gamblers. They are gambling you will not find your content there. You will not DMCA them. You will not take the next legal steps. Most of the time, they are right.
So they are playing a high stakes gamble to see if you fold, or will spend the money taking them to court. Which most adult companies do not. They just rattle the sabre at these guys or bitch on message boards daily.
I mean, even the big adult companies do it. Open up any issue of XBIZ and you will see some company(ies) settling out of court instead of going the distance on these copyright/tube/forum lawsuits.
I can assure you if people would follow through on the paperwork, filing your copyrights, and spending the money to sue some of these guys into oblivion (since you know damn well most do not have LLC's in place), then you would get some results.
Instead, they just bitch on message boards daily. Even with the host is in their own back yard. The victims could actually see some results if they would follow through pm sending some docs to a few key places in their state.
