Yeah, there's an idea: change from two targets to one.

Yeah, but a target is still a target no matter how you look at it. But one BIG target is harder to take down.

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.
