What to do when most the site has been plagiarized

After my site was hit with Panda (or something similar) on March 14, I've been combining some pages to reduce or eliminate any thin content. However, as I've been going through the site, I discovered that Google is valuing about 1,000 pages of plagiarized material over my own. I have been spending days filing DMCA complaints on [google.com ] and it will probably take weeks more of work. Is there anyone at Google who I can contact directly so I can save both Google and I from spending days going through these requests? Google shouldn't be favoring plagiarized material over original material anyway. I can easily prove the material originated on my site using the Internet Archive.

If not, any other ideas other than sidelining my business for weeks to file the DMCA requests?

They do offer one other thing you can do, but they also cover it with warnings that it may never be acted on, may not be visible to you if/when they do act on it and they prefer to determine things on a more widespread scale than fixing things for one site at a time.
