I guess what I'm saying is are they supposed to download and watch every single file? No. But they could at least glance at the titles to make sure they're not firing off takedown requests for content that is quite obviously unrelated to the IP in question. Instead they're doing mindless searches for words that appear in their movie titles and submitting takedown requests automatically, which is pretty obviously an abusive practice. If you want to use a legal mechanism to force a company remove content from a site, you should be required to put in at least the most basic good faith effort to make sure that you're actually forcing them to remove something that is your IP. Sure, I get the whining about how it's a lot of work, but look...if enforcing your property rights is too much of a burden to be realistically achieved, then your business model is broken and you should find another type of work.
