For example, while claiming to remove files that are copies of the movie The Box, Warner removed several files related to the alternative cancer treatment book ?Cancer: Out Of The Box,? by Ty M. Bollinger. Another title deleted by Warner was ?The Box that Saved Britain,? a production of the BBC, not Warner.

So they're basically saying "we KNOW that this stuff is stolen, the only problem we have with you is that it's not stolen from you but from some other guy who doesn't have that SRA thingy enabled for him and is not that quick to discover infringing links and send DMCAs. Now you need to pay us to compensate us the missed opportunity to monetize that stolen property".
WOW WOW WOW
That's some fucked up logic. However, under the current fucked up laws they may actually have some ground for such claims.
But they'll shoot themselves in the foot either way. If they cannot prove monetary loss from infringment, they'll lose. And if they can, Warner will stuff their asses with that proof in their another lawsuit.
And one last thing, a kinda open letter.
Dear Warner, if your next movie if going to have the word "ferro" in the title, I fully authorize you to remove any matches from Hotfile that will happen to be related to our program
