You can see the major companies that issue DMCA takedown notices every month right here.

Plenty of companies who have issued notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act remove web pages, files or search results.

And it seems that comic book publishers Viz Media is one of the most aggressive companies doing such a thing. They have challenged 1,609 domains and 5,773,417 individual URLs as a result.
