The DMCA costs nothing, but would not be sufficient to deal with someone like Vryce. Actually following up with legal action would be both expensive and time-consuming.
That couldn't be further from the truth. Lacking knowledge, I prefer to make no judgement at all. That is why I have repeatedly said it is not up to you, Matt, or anyone else to try and enforce the rights of a copyright holder when you don't even know what they want. If the author says "You cannot use my work for muds", then fair enough - ban them. If they say "You can use my work as long as you do X, Y and Z" then great! But until then, you're just second-guessing them.
So do I as a general rule, but sometimes there is sufficient precedent to make an assumption. If you disagree with that, why didn't you email me to ask my permission before quoting sections of my post?
Aeolus's post already covers the legal aspects.
