LOL... no, you do not get it... It has nothing to do with it being copyrighted content... essentially, EVERYTHING is copyrighted, some MIGHT be registered copyright, although most things are not... But that does not make it illegal.. you just do not get what I am saying obviously by the comments you (harmon and jonnydoe) posted... For example, any content piece we hold a license for, and a 3rd party uploads, there is NO REASON we should remove it... but yet, you would NEVER EVER find out if we owned a license or not, so all the ranting about all the in YOUR opinion illegal content, is complete stupidity.. The _ONLY PERSON_ that knows if the item might be on the site legit or not is the ULTIMATE OWNER of the copyright... and THUS he can send DMCA notices to remove content which in his opinion should not be there...

One of the reasons why Viacom had a HORRIBLY BAD CASE against youtube was that people FROM VIACOM uploaded content to youtube! This is what people need to start realizing and understanding what this ultimately means... and I am not going to teach you all what you should pay lawyers to explain to you...
