Given that the site is actually hosted in China, unlike other Chinese sites that just host in the U.S. or Europe, there really wasn't much that you can do. However, I do have one question, you say that each search engine requires a special DMCA notice. That has not been my experience. Though search engines require a different notice than hosts, they seem to follow the same format. I've never had a problem with my DMCA notice. The requirements are set by the law itself and not by the search engines, try as they might. I'm just wondering if you've had experience to the contrary in this area.
