Once you send them a DMCA which you must first to do exhaust the legal remedies as outlined in copyright laws, all they do is remove the content in question so there can be no further legal action to take.

As long as they comply with your DMCA request, you cant touch them and they know this.

Your content may be on their tubes and torrents for days, weeks and months before you notice and send them a DMCA notice.
Yes. It would be much the same thing if the shoplifting laws were changed such that once caught all the thief has to do is once found guilty give back the stolen items (in whatever condition) in order to avoid conviction. The thief still would have free use of the items until the trial and is free to continually shoplift over and over as much as they like as long as they ultimately give back the items. The burden of proof would always be on you to show that the shoplifter actually intended to shoplift as opposed to just "accidentally" forgetting to pay for the items.

If this were the way it worked you could probably imagine how bad things would be for retail stores.
