Are all of you guys completely missing what Steve is doing?
He doesn't WANT them to honor his DMCA. That's why he's sending so many. Jesus Christ...this isn't about the bullshit of these fuckers playing that dmca game with a content owner. This is about lawsuits, making money, and tearing pirate sites down.
The DMCA is just sent in hopes that they won't comply. And since there are so many fucking thieves that have stolen Steve's stuff...he is sending out the dmca's in mass.
See, the pirates always thought that the sheer numbers of files they stole from people was their strength (because it would overwhelm a hard working person who doesn't have time for that shit)...the beauty of what Steve is doing is he is turning that very "strength" into the pirates biggest weakness.
And he will own them. Hope that makes it clear to all the folks not seeing the big picture who are still babbling about how futile it is for Steve to send out the DMCA's.
He is COUNTING on it being "futile"
Good job Steve. Kudo's to you and your legal team.

I know a lot of people just sue to get their own videos down only, but that doesn't help. In order to stop the bleeding you need to choke the whole site.

If that worked there would be no tubes or torrents. It doesn't. They are protected and not required to have 2257 because it's "user uploaded" This shit has been discussed over and over and over for the last 2 years. You should be up on this kind of thing before entering the discussion with people who have already explored every legal avenue that you can possibly think of...especially the most obvious ones.
