Right now NOTHING is being done, and nobody feels they are responsible, so I could give you ANY answer and it would be better then what we currently have, nothing.

Right now the copyright holder has to file a DCRM and wait for a response, if they get one, from the site distributing the content. The person stealing the content and posting it doesn't have to fill anything out, the person distributing the content has no due dilligence. It's pretty obvious that, under the current system, everyone wins but the copyright holder.
