I contacted a company who had some content I had shot up on their site. My initial email simply asked why they were using it. They returned with a rude reply and that didn't sit well with me. At that point I asked them to remove it as I was not interested in the option you suggested after their reply. They basically told me to stick it so I sent a DMCA. Their host pulled down their entire site which surprised me. It was down for awhile...Might still be for all I know.
