Jayeff, one of the things that slows the process down is that every new program owner learns one thing from the older programs: Put your site URL on every image, and all the traffic you get as a result is some sort of "payment" for all the copyright violations.
Second one up is that copyright holders seem loath to go after the programs that sponsors and support the content thieves. I posted up a site in another thread that is packed with sponsors content, magazine rips, and even a huge section of family guy stuff, all of it in obvious violation of copyright. The sponsors? AFF and Zangocash. Do you honestly think they give a flying fuck? They would if one of the copyright holders suddenly went after them for contributing to the violations.
The whole thing will be settled with a beer at a show. In the meantime, people who try to run honest businesses get squished.
It's so nice.
