I think basically the guy just tried to scrape any post on LET with the word "review" in it.

Looks like a typical scraping blog.

I just want to post some warning on that site, but I only can get this

ERROR: Could not read CAPTCHA token file.
There is a problem with the directory /si-captcha-for-wordpress/captcha/temp/.
Directory Unwritable (fix permissions). Permissions are: 0755 Fixing this may require assigning 0755 permissions or higher (e.g. 0777 on some hosts. Try 0755 first, because 0777 is sometimes too much and will not work.) Fixing the actual problem is recommended, but you can uncheck this setting on the si captcha options page: "Use CAPTCHA without PHP session" and the captcha will work this way just fine (as long as PHP sessions are working).

Anyone can send them DMCA or DDOSing them?

Pathetic considering people actually spend time to write those reviews....

I wouldn't give a rat's ass about the site, but the shear fact they have ad's on it really pisses me off. @zhuanyi is exactly right.

There are thousands of site who basically lives on scraping. What is the big fuss about? Can't we have 1 single day without drama.

Indeed there are way to many, just like there are way to many thieves and robbers in real world, but if we never tried to stop one, there will be more and more.

...ddos? wait what?

I'm sure scraper websites are also against Google AdSense/Double Click so if someone knows where to report abusers, their account will get banned, money taken back or both, probably both.
