I want the thread removed as well because:

- To help out the other producers whose stolen content is linked in that same thread.
Keep in mind here that pirate forum webmasters are subject to the same DMCA laws as Rapidshare and, for that reason, they usually comply with take down requests. |
They aren't subject to the same DMCA laws because they aren't storing your content, they are only linking to it. That is why they have not and probably won't remove the thread, because they don't have to. You can find some board owners that will remove the thread to not deal with the hassle, but extreme-board and the other big boards will not. I know it sucks but it is what it is...
