As i was just saying somewhere else. Just one of many examples of why the disastrous DMCA needs to go. was dangerous and unprecedented escalation of CR law. The criminalization of a civil matter and circumvention of everyone's right to make personal backups of media. That was another major goal of it. The ability too allow 3rd party takedowns and other abuses are just extra layers of nonsense.
In fact, the DMCA, along with modern CR law, needs burned to the ground and replaced with something sane and that works as originally intended. A short to mid term protection on copying (and selling) a full work.. A few years or so, not a century. To ensure the creator can make some money off of it, so that others with money can't come along and sell it out from under them, and thus incentivize the creation of more works. It was certainly never intended to protect aspects and little details of sold works from modification by owners, with or without the help of anyone else. And sure as hell was never meant to be abused as a means of protection for things like DRM or as a blanket power grab over someone else's hardware via loopholes like firmware etc. Nor was it ever intended as a means to make something disappear. If you aren't actively selling it then you don't need or get protection. DMCA needs to go first, for so many different reasons that it isn't funny. It's attempt to protect DRM and deprive you of your right to personal copy/backup and control, with criminal law.. Is the most egregious and dangerous.
The whole fallacious idea of "ownership" and "right" to works (so-called "intellectual property") needs to be squashed back into dust once again. These are and were granted protections, not rights of ownership and 100% absolute control.
