guys I m sorry I didn't made my point clearly ... my bad

The problem is not DMCA : The problem is file host doing business with payment gateway in order for uploaders to get paid.

In order for uploaders to get paid, file host must stay in business with payment gateway.
To stay in business with payment gateway, file host will sooner or later have to stop acting like rogue business and enforce rules : like controlling the files they host.
To do so they will have to take certain measure like I explained in the first post.
So even if they have DMCA requests, their payment gateway will not limit or stop their contract. Because they are showing good faith in their business practice.

So let's say I m a file hoster, if a DMCA request comes for a file with an obscure filename, at least I could say I did my best to enforce my policies.
But if my uploaders are acting blindly and posting direct links with well identified illegal filenames, to my host, they are clearly ruining my relationship with my payment gateway.

Of course, if your way of uploading is to post on forums with direct links to well identified pirated content, then your business model is doomed just like the rogue file host showing no good manners ...

Another point to make is that with such practice file hosts could easily get a Paypal and a Google Adsense account, which mean more sales and money for the industry.

I'm sorry to not see more reaction about this topic.
