I'm just going to wait and see how things go. I generally improvise; there's not really much prior work (let alone documentation) on the way I run projects, so it's mostly just a matter of figuring stuff out as I go along. One thing that's certain is that I have no intention of shutting down the service. I've run stuff that attracted more abuse :)
I have no intention of acting as a 'shield' against DMCA requests for this particular service (if they're valid, they'll be followed up on, as described on the TOS page), so ideally there shouldn't really be a problem. We'll see how it goes.
Yep, all I am suggesting is that you be prepared to deal with things in as automated a way as possible, like blacklisting naughty IP ranges, automating DMCA take-downs, fingerprinting known bad content and dropping it into a black hole etc...
