One of the techniques webmasters can use when material is stolen from them and used on other sites is to issue DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) complaints. Frequent recipients of DMCA complaints are hosting companies, where the person filing the complaint is asking that the hosting company remove the offending material from their servers. And, of course Google, for complaints to remove stolen material present on other sites from inclusion in search results.
For this week's poll, I thought it would be interesting to find out how many webmasters have filed DMCA complaints, and whether the complaint yielded the result you wanted.
Besides answering the poll question, post your thoughts and/or experiences regarding filling such complaints and their effectiveness.
