No censorship, you say.

No censorship, you say. Suppose I were to write a script that text-encodes a file and splits it up among a bunch of posts, and another that reverses the process, like the Usenet binary tools. Now suppose someone uses this to leak a highly-anticipated new album. You receive a DMCA request quickly followed by a strongly-worded letter from a Hollywood lawyer instructing you to take down the offending posts or face legal action. What do you do? ("Contact us" is broken, otherwise I'd send this privately, but since the service is just in testing: you should probably use XSRF tokens for voting.)
