Uh, no, one BIG target isn't harder to take down. It's, in fact, easier to take down a single target. A distributed is far harder to take down (independent of whether or not the distributed targets are owned/controlled by a single entity). The only thing that "one BIG" buys you is better lawyers. In the face of a DMCA takedown, however, all that means is that, someday, you might be able to get yourself back online at the location you were taken down. Not terribly useful.
