More than USA citizens with dubious DMCA takedown requests?

This strikes me as the typical political response when you are backing a terrible candidate and somebody points out something terrible they do/did. Rather than defend your candidate you respond by attacking theirs. My kids do this all the time when I catch them doing something wrong, "well #{brother} was doing #{badthing}!"

Both seem wrong, can we agree on that? DMCA is a disgusting weapon, as is a lot that the US has done. Does that make weapons created by Europe ok?

It's been around long enough to have a short name in a dead language:

Oh man, that's genius. Totally gonna bookmark that.
You don't need to do anything to implement DMCA on your site - just respond to emails. How is this even comparable with the kafkaesque implementation required by gdpr?
We've never had a DMCA takedown.
Yes, much bigger pests
