Don't shoot the messenger I always say. I believe they're 'just a host' and although you guys are right: it would be a solution of the host would pull the content, it doesn't take away the fact that the real problem is the site that has the content in the first place. If they're not hosting at one cheap host they'll move elsewhere. Imagine contacting a Russian host with a copyright problem. They couldn't care less. At least there's something you can do about stuff now. Although the time it takes is ridiculous. 5 days waiting before you can report, then 5 more days before they (can) take action... So, a host taking action doesn't solve anything. You'll scare people away to a host that REALLY doesn't care, so it's pushing the problem forward to an even bigger problem...

Theft should be punished. There should be fines, a warning the first time, 1500$ on the second, 10k$ after that. That will put an end to this theft.
