Not sure you quite understand the blog. The dmca takedown system is geared towards the original authors whereas we're having people posting other user's stories without citation/credit. This blog is more focused on users not citing/trying to pass of stories as their own.

Rather than be passive and let people regard the site as a place where it's acceptable to post someone's story without citation, we're trying to remind people who want to share other's stories that it is important to give credit where it's due. In the end, it's actually a pretty big problem. (Hence the "This past week we’ve deleted seven separate stories that have directly ripped the premise for another story, copy/pasted a wikipedia article, or ripped a story word-for-word without bothering to credit the original author (sometimes even referring to the story as theirs)." section.)
