Did they actually ignore DMCA requests or violate copyright themselves in any way? Or are you just upset they didn't implement an automated takedown system until now?

They testified to Congress that they were doing their best to fight piracy while at the same time all of the top feeds on Justin.tv were pirated. It was a joke. DMCA requests were not meant to combat live programming--get one down and another pops up. In three hours the point is moot.
