The RIAA will have to create a takedown notice to takedown their takedown notice, invalidating the former takedown notice?

No, issuing a DMCA claim does not invalidate former claims. The system always works the way a rational human would expect.

We all wish, we all wish.

It works the way the law is designed to be interpreted and written. Unfortunately, it's written with the purpose of helping the RIAA enforce their will against the people's will.

So the only way to fight back is to do your civic duty - lobby against it, and/or lobby for a more modern set of copyright laws (and repeal the DMCA). But unfortunately, people don't care enough to force their representatives.

The system always works the way a rational human who has a vested interest in the claimaint
