The DMCA was a very interesting experiment, in that the vast majority of 
content taken down as a result of complaints was never asked to be 
reinstated by the original culprit.

What that tells me is (1) That they knew they should never have posted 
the infringing content in the first place and (2) The DMCA has not been 
used to censor very much legitimate content - because it's so easy to 
get it put back.
