If it doesn't or if he's a dickhead when approached, DMCA his ass.

I guess that's what my hesitation is ... the last update was over a year ago, I'm getting traffic from it, which is making some sales for me, and the movies are not even there any more. A few years ago I would have hit the roof and gone after the site ... now I think, maybe it's not so bad ...

I think I'll drop an email to the site admin today. I've already spoken to CCBill and they said to file the DMCA and they would handle it.

Thanks for the responses gang ...

Good luck.

We have filed a number of DMCA against sites, but we always check what the traffic is doing. As has been mentioned, if they are using watermarked content, it's not much difference than the stuff we give away for promotional use. But it's always decided on a case to case basis.
