open and shut cases of copyright infringements, no DMCA safe harbor protection and we let them grow like weeds.

Their excuse is they are not "hosting" the content and therefore aren't the ones infringing. These sites don't have that long of a lifespan because often copyright enforcement groups (who can represent multiple content owners at the same time) follow them up the chain to their hosts for repeat infringement & most hosts don't take the risk with a small client like that.
Their legal theory also doesn't hold up too well since there is overwhelming knowledge and intent, but most sites like this end up going away at some point or bouncing around hosts until they run out of options.
I see he's got some of our stuff on there and will make sure it's taken care of.
