To sue any one of these sites that has stolen content is going to cost about eight grand to just get the ball rolling. However, I suspect that once the initial letters are sent the videos will get pulled and you can settle for the cost of legal fees. Anyone got the balls to do this?

It is very easy to remove material from these websites, we do this on regular basis for our clients, and if some website ignores the notices that gives the producer enough juice to sue them successfully.
