IF the violator is in the USA or uses USA-based e-commerce it is very easy to get your content removed.

these days all USA based hosts and e-commerce vendors fall under the DMCA and can be cited as "contributory infringers" under the no electronic theft act signed into law by Pres Clinton.

they are the deep pockets that carry the big stick in getting your stuff removed.

before they will do that they will make the violators' website go dark.

when you contact the violator include in you C & D the link to the host's "agent for copyright" info. explain to the violator that you will be contacting his e-commerce vendor and host within 48 hours if your content is not removed.

if the offender is outside the usa, it is a little more difficult---but most hosts and e-commerce companies even outside the USA will cooperate.
