The intent of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act is to reduce piracy, not to give people like you a loophole through which you can drive your piracy bus.
Also, the notices which you have mentioned are just one tiny little part of the entire legislation.
I find it amazing that dumb, stupid webmasters think they satisfy the requirements of the whole act by simply accepting and responding to one of the various forms and notices proscribed in the legislation.
You can read a summary of the legislation here:

However to be fully compliant you're going to need lawyers to provide advice on the various things that you need to do in order to be compliant.
It's also worth noting that where you operate in a jurisdiction other than the USA you will also need to comply with local legislation which will usually included observing the various agreements and treaties entered into by your principal government.
