Just getting people to dutifully take down the content has done NOTHING, the problem is worse than ever.
So how many people have you sued?

You can still sue people and belong to Paypal, Suze Randall makes a lot of money doing it that way.

You can get APIC to notify you when they find an offending site.

You then join up, search through it, get screen captures documenting when, how and where you found the stolen material. Then get a lawyer to serve a DMCA at $300 an hour on the webmaster, then later on the host, billing company, sponsor, etc.

Then get a court date, prepare your case, go to court and hope the judge does not kick it out becasue he did not get a BJ from his intern that morning.

And at the end if the guys on the other side of the room have any money left, you can repay your bank for the loan you took out on your home. Assuming you don't have the kind of cash it takes, lying around spare.

Me I just want it taken down and the frightners put on the hosts and sponsors. Maybe they will be more careful in future.

But it's a free world you got your way and I will go mine. Respect to you.
