Ok, fine. They win a court case against the offending party.

The problem though is that instead of the RIAA/MPAA facing competition from a thousand directions, TechDirt is facing the threat of takedown from a thousand nameless companies. I mean, who's ever heard of Armovore before?

The DMCA, right now, puts the burden of "guilty until proven innocent" on the innocent. TechDirt is innocent.

The problem is the DMCA. The solutions available include:

• Fix campaign finance rules, elect better congresscritters, and repeal the DMCA.

• Implement a technical solution that renders the DMCA outdated

(What other solutions are available?)

"Fix campaign finance rules, elect better congresscritters, and repeal the DMCA."

Yeah, except it's Congress that makes those rules.

Given that vicious circle, how can that specific problem (campaign finance) realistically be fixed? "Vote them out" doesn't seem to work.

Were you suggesting another solution?

My first suggestion is 100% legal - but I think we were all already aware of the problem with that route, considering what just happened to TechDirt.

Or they could just file a counter-notification.
