It's not expensive - I have done it successfully numerous times. Several sites were removed from servers in response to my properly formatted notice to ISPs' Copyright Agent. Very satisfying. It took 1/2 hour to prepare my stock warning and follow-up notices and a few minutes to fill in the instance-specific info. It matches the copyright law and Terms of Use for just about every ISP, and gets just about instant response in 9 out of 10 cases. Nothing is absolute. I guess Boz needs to decide if it is worth it to him to protect his work this way.
