I recommend the following for producers interested in fighting theft:
1) Copyright Register your content! It can be done quickly and easily online and your work is instantly protected. You can go back as far as 3 months after the content has been published.

2) Hire a DMCA Take-Down service. They make it very easy to submit links for removal. I did it myself for awhile but it's pain in the ass and the tubes can reject the take-down notice if it's not properly worded. I currently use
https://dmcaforce.com/ and they have been working closely with my attorney to provide specific records to help win the lawsuits. They also have a service where they can have links de-listed from Google which will crush the tubes search traffic.
3) If you want to take things to the next level, hire a good copyright attorney. I use
https://ilawco.com/ and they are very knowledgeable with copyright law. They have been streamlining their process in order to fast results. They are the firm that took down all the tubes I listed in the first post.
