Not true. I have never made that claim. Where did you see that? Did I even mention any content removal services?
I talked about content protection.

If you want to know about stream protection I can recommend reading some of Robbie's posts or the
excellent thread where Borked summed up industry best practices on stream protection.

It's a belief.

Again, I never made that claim. You did.

It's great. You feel good, the content removal person gets rich.

If the content removal services are effective or not, I don't know. That is not my concern. You will have to ask them. As for sending out DMCAs I think we all know how to send an e-mail. Those guys who have huge content libraries probably need some kind of automated monitoring solution.

It increased my sales when the content stopped leaking from the members area.
Thus the increase in profits.

Wrong. TheDoc is not pointing that out. He made up claims about my retention, which I didn't talk about. I talked about profit.
As a matter of fact I have seen in my log files that someone tried to hack into the members area with different passwords. When the person didn't manage to break in he took out his credit card and paid for access. He became a paying member (who I keep an eye on). Reading that log file was a little victory.
