I wonder if someone could put together a class-action suit to distribute that cost across many individuals.

A copyright holder could always submit a DMCA takedown request to his ISP and have his website taken offline.

It sounds like that's happened lots of times. He just pops up elsewhere.
It might be worth checking out where he is actually located. WHOIS shows a site registration via an Australian registrar but a US based registrant:
Registrant Name: Julia Shipman
Registrant Organization: Julia Shipman
Registrant Street: 2105 Maple Street
Registrant City: Lawrenceville
Registrant State/Province: IL
Registrant Postal Code: 62439
Registrant Country: US
Registrant Phone: +1.6189433317
WHOIS often has bogus information, but sometimes people slip up.
I had a scumbag once who was giving away our content off of his parents business server in Canada. I faxed a a couple of letters to the business. He contacted us through our contact email with all sorts of threats of a lawsuit. I sent another one addressed to his dad and the illegal contest hosting went away.
No, that's not what I meant. I meant it sounds like it doesn't phase him. Take away some hosting, he moved elsewhere. There's a lot of hosts out there. Some of them in countries which are less receptive to takedown notices. It's like all the torrent sites - it's hard even for governments to get rid of them.
Yup. But someone still has to think of it
and pay for the initial consult.
