I will attempt to break down what I have been working on for the last few months. I will be the first to say I do not wish to step on JMM's toes and yes we spoke on the phone and some of what he said is also some of the same things I have been thinking about so I would gladly work with him or step aside to him if anyone feels their toes would be stepped on.
Here is a basic break down.
1. Everything would be niched out. Each niche would have so many volunteers or outsourcers. They would scour the net looking for any sites using questionable content and when they find it not being used to properly promote the site in question in an ethical way they would screen capture the content, record all relevant urls, user name that submitted it, any other important information and then submit it to our site.
2. Participating site owners could log in themselves or have an employee do it for them and check over any niches that they have content in. Using a check box system they would click off any and all content that is offending their TOS.
3. Script would then send out valid format DMCA letters to the sites, the hosts, the search engines, and of course any sponsors that are being wrongfully promoted. The script also would keep track of repeat user offenders to report to the site to have that user banned. It would also keep track of the number of violations each site has, how often they get notified, if they comply, time took to comply, and other information.
4. This would be membership driven by sponsors with an open book system. Aside from a reasonable salary to have someone over see the site and pay for any overhead from hosting, script development, and of course labor. Any additional funds would be set into a legal fund. This legal fund would equally represent all members of the site. Going after each offender or anyone they can collect from for the piracy of stolen content or purposely benefiting from it. Example if ABC sponsor has been reported 200 times in the past month they would make a prime example of someone to go after for damages.
5. Of course we would need some major help in setting everything up program wise and of course to protect the site from DDOS and hack attacks from some very upset site owners. As much barter or just good will assistance would work wonders to get this really rolling.
6. Ideally we could have it set up so that membership costs would not be to burdonsome for the small site owners who can not afford to shell out large amounts of cash, however those that could afford it or have more sites should pay more of a fee. Have not fully thought out this kink yet, thinking of maybe just a per site fee, or maybe have it set as a not for profit organization and additional donations could be made at a tax deductible status.
Any comments?
Anyone willing to assist me in setting this up?

If any content producer as myself really cares they should step up and help out!! There are a lot of negative people here maybe they run sites with stolen content and that is there reason for trying to damper this? WHO knows! But you're right it's better then doing NOTHING at all while the thief's get richer and producers work harder and make less!!
