There are opportunities here. War always results in losses and casualties. Partnerships and treaties, when fair and equal, always benefit all parties.
They will trot out the same tripe Gideongallery spews and you do. Putting up more free content to get the scraping of traffic that's left is no way forward.

Can you imagine MacDonald's offering people giving away free hamburgers a constant supply of free hamburgers in the hope someone might buy one from them?

The first part of your post was good. There's a social problem here that people expect it to be free on the Internet. Many think if it's on the Internet it's public domain, even Google are putting up books without the publishers permission. Some think they've already bought enough, music, porn, films or whatever so now they're entitled to take it for free.

What we need to do is show these people they are a in danger of paying a lot of money for their stupidity.

So your idea teaming up with removeyourcontent.com is a pretty good one.
If what the few are doing is profitable lawyer/pirate detectives will be contacting content owners and asking if they can take on the case. The only thing that's stopped this has been the ROI. Make it profitable and it snowballs.
