Interesting idea! It would be neat if one were able to select a filter that's already been used (off an editor's pick or an image in the gallery) and apply that particular filter on their image of choice as well. Crowd-sourced selection of the best filters might produce nifty results.

This isn't entirely correct. Per the DMCA (or, really, the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act - OCILLA), the hosting provider must comply with a takedown notice should they receive it, regardless of how idiotic it appears, so long as the content that is claimed to be infringing is hosted by the provider and the notice is completed. It's up to the website owner to file a counter-notice in instances like this; once they do so, the hosting provider will re-enable the content within 14 days provided the original notice filer doesn't initiate legal action.

ChillingEffects has a long (but very informative) FAQ on the DMCA that dispels a lot of common misunderstandings.

Some bits that are of note in my opinion is the overview of the takedown process: http://www.chillingeffects.org/dmca512/faq.cgi#QID130

And the fact that the provider /must/ respond to the takedown notice: http://www.chillingeffects.org/dmca512/faq.cgi#QID129

And some information on the counter-notice procedure: http://www.chillingeffects.org/dmca512/faq.cgi#QID922

I wouldn't mind being able to purchase the magnet set I played around with.
