It's not about whether they are, as defined by the law, right or wrong. That's the moral definition part.

The implementation part is where the problem lies. If this company is right, then they are being actively harmed by the utility provided in the very law that has defined them to be in the right!

Even if the DMCA takedown feature makes logical sense in the abstract, its thoroughly demonstrated utility for abuse shows us that the law itself fails to implement its own application.

The correct way to resolve this problem is to change the law, such that it is no longer abusable.
