And NONE of them terminate repeat infringers.

1. File 512h subpoena for infringer's account
2. When that person uploads more stuff, file another 512h subpoena.
3. You now have proof they aren't terminating repeat infringers.
4. Sue them back to their third world shitholes.

This is what happened with Hotfile and why the site lost 80% of it's traffic. They were threatened with lawsuits for not terminating repeat infringers. Out of fear, Hotfile began implementing a policy of terminating repeat infringers. 1000's of uploaders lost their accounts. Those uploaders abandoned Hotfile in mass to Filesonic, etc.

The blueprint is sitting right there.
