However, it's good for any copyright holder who is interested in participating to contact requesting the participation be opened up so if and when they do open it up you are notified.

Thanks for the response. I would hope if such a system does get implemented that it would eventually be extended to anyone who can prove a valid U.S. copyright. It seems possibly anti-competitive to enforce copyrights only on the content of selected companies. There seems to be an unfair advantage with that.
Maybe the real answer might be law changes? It's hard for the U.S. to touch some of the facilitators in places such as China or Russia no matter what laws we pass (global cooperation is needed) but if we can successfully enforce it in regards to U.S. customers (a significant portion of sales) then it might still have a significant effect.
