Well, the whole point of the DMCA is to give some classes an immunity from suit. If they don't comply with the Notice and Takedown provisions (and if they don't have a registered DMCA Agent and if they don't have an infringement policy for users) you sue them and they can't interpose the DMCA as a defense to the "innocent infringement" they will claim at the hands of the third-party uploaders. They become fully liable. So, sue them.
I'm sure you registered your copyright within three months of first publication because you recognized its value, right? And so you can recover attorney's fees, right?
And yes, all the steps against hosting companies and internet connections that do caching are excellent ideas. Don't forget the image hosts for vidcaps. Don't forget the privacy escrow registrars. Hell, if you are on a roll, send a DMCA to the domain registrar.
