Fabian you are still avoiding the fact that you CAN remove that video of Steve's. You know it is his. You are the owner of the site. Just go to the admin and hit "delete" then it's gone. Don't dance man.
If you're going to stand behind the dmca and say "I'm not doing anything illegal" and blatantly disregard the fact that that is Steve's video, and force him to take action then what kind of shit is that?
This isn't the same as claiming that you didn't know it was there...it's been pointed out to you specifically. You're not only stealing his content to make money off of prepaid ad spots...but you've also taken his spot on search engines. A double slap in the face.
Nothing wrong with out-seo'ing somebody...but you got that spot simply because that is a one of a kind video and was NEVER meant to be seen outside of the members area.
You know that. And you should have the decency to pull that shit down without having to have a guy who busted his ass all these years beg you to take it down...only to have it re-uploaded minutes later.
You SHOULD take it down and make sure it never shows up again. That is what a person with any sense of dignity and class would do. Instead you are spitting in his face. There is NO law that keeps a site owner from removing a video. Why not just do the right thing in this one freakin' instance and act like a gentleman?
