Some are more challenging than others. When they don't or won't comply then we contact Google and have the entire sites de-listed from their search.
They will still get their usual visitors but they will lose new traffic which is a slow death for any site. Their business model is to sell garbage and scams to surfers and they need the numbers for that.
Search engines like Google don't want to be named in copyright lawsuits either and won't support thieves once a Judge has determined that infringement has taken place.
DMCA was meant to protect sites like Youtube from potential copyright infringement, it wasn't meant to be a business model for thieves.
However, I was told by a lawyer that content theft (specifically porn) was allowed and encouraged back in the day because they knew it was a good way to grow the internet.
When you're in the business of fucking with people, eventually you'll fuck with the wrong person.
