I say, misuse it deliberately (and perhaps repeatedly), and you lose the ability, as an and for the entire entity, to use it in future. Oops, material you think is infringing is online? Tough shit.
That's my simple solution: Abuse it, and you lose it -- for everything.
P.S. And your little dog, too. I.e. any subsidiaries or shell companies you create, and any subsequent purchaser of copyright for the specific material in question. (In this instance, Fox's copyright surrounding their "Homeland" product.) And any material passed to another agent under the terms of your sale to said agent remains excluded from DMCA action.
Copyright is a monopoly granted by the government -- in our democracy, by the people -- to serve the common good. I'm perfectly happy with the people changing the terms of such grants when they find that they are not serving the common good. If we can "Mickey Mouse" ever longer copyright term extensions, by goodness, we can curtail them, as well.
