For someone that claims to know everything about DMCA law you are completely hoping that no one in here is aware of the "counter claim" provision of the DMCA. Your "user" in this case could counter-claim for the other 1000 videos and you could restore them.

Case closed.

What's great is we're getting a lot of statements from you on the record. Keep 'em coming sucker.
