A Czech guy steald your content and put's it on a website. He tells your lawyer to sue him in Czech.
And your next move is?

my content is on thousands of unauthorized websites at any time.
as well as all over kazza et al. ebay. etc.
i have some one who spends half his day looking for infringment. 90% of the time talking to the host and sponsors will get an account shut down - dmca forms are rarely needed. it's worked extremely well for us. the exposure of my content to the public internet is extreme to say the least, yet it has never touched my bottom line. certainly not in a percentage profit basis.
when it comes to the point where i need to hire unscruplous hit men to go after 3rd world copyright infringment, in order to turn a profit, i'll likely rethink being involved in this biz.
just look at the apic thread i posted. if you feel you have no choice but to use unprofessional thugs to protect your content... then your hacked server, fucked up hosting, fucked up shopping cart, and negative attitude towards potential customers... is the least of your worries.
