The DMCA does not allow you to refuse to process notices due to unpaid processing fees. Therefore, if they refuse to pay the fee, you are still required to process all their notices anyway, or you lose safe harbor.
Okay, then let's do this the way. If you don't pay the fines, then your DMCA notices are put in the low priority queue. You pay your fines, we put you back in the high priority queue.
That works for Netflix & Comcast, so I don't see why it shouldn't work for DMCA notices.
