Today, there's Remove Your Content.
He caught you then.

How was he meant to verify it?

Domain > Whois > Ask content copyright owner if he had sold the license to the site > Send a DMCA or not.

Many of the copyright holders who joined APIC were never selling content to others online. Penthouse, Suze Randall, Steve Hicks, etc.

I used to get his copies of emails where he was "brute forcing" his way to getting my content removed from piracy sites. He was fairly thorough. All you needed to do was send your hosting company a copy of the license that proved you owned the right to publish the content and everything was fine.

You could of sued him if you wanted to.

I contacted so many of the sites that were pirating my content and asked them if they wanted to buy the license to use my content on their sites. The response was silence.

That's the way online porn started and the way for most it will end.
