Well duh...
I can probably speak of a lot of smaller operations when I say, unlike large companies like yours or Nathan's (or others), we don't have people searching for content and sending DMCAs for us. We do it all, email by email, on top of the day to day operations. This makes it extra frustrating instead of just having someone on staff to do it, which would probably make it a little better.
There are more of us smaller guys than there are of you big ones. This is why theft is met with such hatred. Many don't have the money to sue and fight legal battles, and are literally caught in the middle of something that is totally beyond their control. I can only speak for my self, but I can't tell you how many times I've had my content removed from Nathan's sites alone, only to have them go right back up under a different name a week later. Doesn't matter to me who is loading it, it ends up back up there and that is the bottom line.
And lets not beat around the bush, regardless of what the tubes are morphing into, we ALL know how they got the traffic that they now have, and it wasn't by loading legal content. The screwed us ALL in the ass and now we are eventually going to get strong armed into doing business with them, because I think we can all see that's where it's heading. And truth be told, that is probably what this scamming, incestuous industry deserves, right along with .XXX to ice the cake.
To sum it all up, it's like being forced to do business with the guy who repeatedly raped your kid sister. Of course emotions are going to run hard.
