AFAIK anybody can use the DMCA just like the record labels are using to take down tons of Youtube videos. There are customizable form letters out there for this very purpose.

DMCA only works in the USA. I work for a Portuguese record label and we get ignored when we ask the local Youtube copycats to remove our copyrighted content. I even suspect they download the videos from Youtube to upload on their services. And I'm talking about sites owned by the biggest telecommunications providers.

Sure, DMCA is an American legal construct. At this point it'd be a good idea to get in touch with a lawyer and see with the appropriate course of action for your country is.

Didn't you read the part about the sites being owned by the biggest telecom companies? They sue people for €10 debts (or they used to while they were allowed) because they have an army of lawyers receiving paychecks, needing to work to justify those paychecks... At most, we, a small indie record label, would be a welcome distraction to those guys.
