>They do not respond to DMCA notices.

But Google does cooperate with DMCA. The difference there is that that content deemed in violation of copyright is actually illegal for anyone to distribute; legal responsibility extends all the way to the website owner.

Unless content falling under "right to be forgotten" is ruled privileged and not legal for public distribution, any artificial roadblocks to their discovery will merely present a business opportunity for their circumvention.

You cannot copyright a story written about you (AFAIK IANAL), DMCA is not designed to protect individuals from these kind of things.
