It all starts out with the DMCA's, webmaster may refuse to cooperate - but you just go the upper way then. You contact the host, they tell you to shove the complaint up your ass? Well, that's ok too. You just contact the Datacenter directly, that doesn't work out? You contact the domain registrar, explain them the situation, com and net extensions are managed by VeriSign, a company from the United States. But no one has to go that far, everyone cooperates. No matter what domain extension they use, it never goes that bad. Hell, even file hosts cooperate, why wouldn't a blog or a forum.
As far as I know, Leaseweb has a strict policy. They do host a big amount of warez boards and blogs, but they refuse to host them as well after they receive a big amount of complaints regarding the site. - I know that because I moderated a Webmaster board on which you can find those same webmasters trying to bypass the removing of the content.
Hosts who claim that ignore the DMCA are mostly those with one server, trying to earn a buck or two.
