This extraordinary saga of takedown notices for performances of Shakespeare show that 27 years after it was passed, the DMCA is still not fit for purpose. The companies like Google that are tasked with implementing it often do so in the most desultory way. There is an underlying assumption that claimed infringements are valid, an injustice compound by an arrogant indifference to the rights of ordinary citizens who find themselves caught up in a complex copyright system that is stacked against them.

That is for individuals. Whichever side you are on. No alternative can exist without both creators and users in large enough numbers.

Asking which is first is a stupid question. Even if you could prove an answer it wouldn't change a thing.

I'm sorry I can't think of how to write that nicer.
