First results after mailing DMCA notices

I faxed DMCA notices to search engines and the hosting company of the infringing site on Sunday. The law requires action to be taken within 72 hours of receipt of the notice. By this time (it's Friday) I only received two replies so far. Looks like the law is not quite working. Not that I really need the action to be taken in 72 hours, I can wait longer. I'm just curious now whether the rest are going to reply at all.

What about the replies I've got? The one (from Yahoo) is a success -- they removed the illegal copy of convert-me.com from their search results. I'm really excited about it! The DMCA worked for me. So far it helped to exclude the illegal site from Google and Yahoo -- the two search engines that are being used most often.

The second reply (from the hosting company) was only a partial success. They replied the infringing site had been removed. I checked and found I am still able to access it. It took me less than 5 minutes to find out that the illegal site had simply moved to a different hosting company. Now I should probably mail them DMCA notice too, but the site will probably move again. Fighting content theft may take much longer than I expected.

Another bad thing is the new hosting company of the illegal copy of our site is an InterCage - an ISP known to host spyware. Their website is down, there is no information where to send DMCA. That's a strange company and the Internet search on InterCage returns mainly articles on SPAM, hacking, spyware, etc. I guess at least the illegal site went where it should belong. :)
