I don't think his website would have existed if he had honoured takedown requests. The entire premise was that these pictures are hosted without permission (and according to the Jezebel article about 90% were). If he honoured DMCA requests then that would become widely known pretty quickly. Part of the point of the site was to publicly humiliate the women, so if they had any easy way to get rid of the pictures, it wouldn't have had the same impact.
