DMCA is broken, intellectual property is a scam.
It seems to be working exactly as intended. It protects the OP of the rich while not giving a shit about the poor.
Intellectual "property" shouldn't exist. The property system was designed to solve the scarcity of physical goods. Information doesn't have this problem since it can be replicated forever as long as you have a medium to copy it to. That's why you can't own information. Once created, it lives its own life, whenever you like it or not.
