As far as I can tell, the officially recommended course of action for people negatively affected by things like this is "go to hell". There are lots of examples of, say, automatic DMCA warnings and terminations being given for musicians playing their own songs, people streaming video games that they have permission to stream (but which feature copyrighted music in some parts), and the greatest of all, literal silence. This does not seem to be a major obstacle to these systems being implemented, so I imagine it wouldn't be an obstacle if this were to be made law either. jp×g 03:35, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, as a friend of a couple people dealing with DMCA stuff, they're infuriating. For instance, one guy got a copyright claim for a video clip that didn't look anything like the video and (here's the best part) came out three months after his video! Like... come on, dude.
