I don't produce my own content or own exlusive content so this doesn't affect me directly, just indirectly. However if I was producing content or owned exclusive content that was getting stolen I would do the following:

Why hasn't anyone done this or tell me why this is not a good idea?

First of all find a site that is medium size, that constantly has your content listed on it. You send them out DMCA they take it down, next day more content is back up etc... It's a cycle you can't beat.

I'm betting that half or more of these medium to small sites steal the content themselves and make it look like their "members" are posting it. Or at the very least they stolen all of the content initially to get the site filled up ready to have it launched. With DMCA you can't sue the site for having stolen content on it if they comply to your requests to have it taken down. However there is no protection under DMCA for the members who uploaded the content.

If you take site XYZ and sue the members who uploaded your content to their site, you would be sending the site subpoena for all of their information for the members who uploaded your content. Do you really want to sue the members? That's a different approach. But my hunch is that most of these sites will be fucked when hit with a subpoena because they where the ones who added the stolen content in the first place. Then there is no DMCA protection, and if they are a decent size site that actually makes money you should be able to sue and receive damages.

Would this just be for sites/companies based in the US or in your country ? not sure about that part.

If it was a real member that uploaded your stolen content to site XYZ you could threaten to sue them or settle for a small amount they could afford. Or sue them and make a point that if any users steal your content that you will sue them. Sure it wont stop content theft but I bet your stuff gets stolen a lot less than the other guys. And/Or if you sue the users of site XYZ it might cause them to stop using that site and move to another site which would be hurting site XYZ's business and maybe then they would actually be proactive about content theft so you would leave their members alone.

So why would this not work? And please read it all and comprehend what I am saying before you reply back "wouldn't work". and thanks in advance to the smart asses who reply back with that anyway.
