Both options suck. There are dozens of sites like these to keep up with. Distribution is one thing, but customer support is a nightmare, particularly since you don't know if you're supporting a legitimate download or not.
DMCA is a nuisance. You have to be big enough to dedicate resources to filing and tracking takedowns, as well as be able to take legal action anywhere in the world for sites that don't respond. It's very easy to clone a pirate site. It's much harder to play whack-a-mole to take one down.
Sorry to be dismissive, but this is basically what the internet is for content creators. There's a reason the *AAs of the world resort to sending automated, often stupid, blanket takedowns -- computers make copying easy.
At work, we've used MarkMonitor to try to solve similar things, which is sometimes useful and sometimes results in our secondary apps getting taken off Google Play.
