Using the DMCA as a censorship tool needs to be a criminal offense subject to jail time.
Why that’s literally what it was designed to do
DMCA was designed to prevent intellectual property infringement, not as a censorship tool.
Yes that's exactly what the person you replied to was saying.
DMCA was built to save IP, however it's routinely abused and used for censorship. And not a single thing is done to the abusers so they continue with their nonsense.
No they literally said that DMCA was designed for censorship...
Copyright assholes got a seat at the table when it was being drafted everyone else was given the finger. Its designed to be easily abused. Accidently on purpose, if you get me.
