I like this idea too. Unfortunately I believe chasing debt / small claims outside of country of residency might be difficult.

Absolutely, but the alternative is what you see in this thread. People asking what to do, letting their work get taken down because of overzealous models/DMCA agencies, and for what exactly? There's a sense of fear and anxiety surrounding all webmasters who are now having a part time job in simply countering these DMCA's.

There has been content owners who have sent invoices to DMCA companies for false filings, and surprise surprise, I was told that most of the false DMCA's stopped within a week. I'm sure more companies will pop up, but I guess my invoice generator is going to get a workout this year.
