That's what all producers are already doing. What's your point?
And btw do you know that shady filehosters (oron, filesonic and many others) have now new tools to bypass DMCA takedown requests? For example, they now generate as many links to a file as their uploader wants, and when the one is taken down it's easily replaceable, because no file is actually removed and there's no need to reupload.
In spite of this, the strategy described above doesn't work that well now. In the old times when rapidshare was the king they removed and blocked files, so uploaders had to modify them somehow to get them there again. Not so now, with all the new shady filehosters popping around. Now if you nuked a thread and left posts and thumbnails there as a "promo", you're risking that all links to full length full res movies will be operational again within a few days if not hours.
