They refuse to act on DMCA complaints with their lame excuse:
Their IP is serving illegal content, they help the pirates monetize their stolen content by serving it faster and securing up-time and they diffuse who the real owners are.

Cloudflare, without exception, have provided us the IP address and Hosting Company details of every site we have reported to them.
They are a CDN (Content Distribution Network) that only caches around the world what is served from primary servers elsewhere.
To take the content down, or the site down, contacting the originating host of the content is the correct strategy to pursue. There are criminal web hosts / data centre operators like Ecatel that rarely comply with requests - in those cases the best course of action is domain seizure.
