What he's doing is necessary, but what it's sounding like is that it's a job rights owners need to do themselves.
Save that, what really seems to cause controversy (although it's sounding a bit staged now) is the idea of AK profiting from piracy, albeit indirectly, regardless if he claims he isn't.
Maybe it sounds to them like he's trying manuever himself into a position to hold rights holders hostage by forcing payment to have content removed (when it's really their own responsibility to keep track of their own content)
I guess what it comes down to is if rights holders want to attempt to take down these big sites they need to join together.
