  1. Copyright is important but right now there is too little responsibility with the copyright holder to actually prove that they have the rights over a piece of content. Just look at what Sony did and is still doing with their scorched earth tactics when it comes to The Last of Us 2 leaks. Striking actual leaks, fine but many news channels and discussions channels that only discussed the topic got hit to. Or the ridiculous situation with Suzy Lu using the DMCA system to strike down content she didn't agree with claiming she has the copyright on her face (which she doesn't/can't have). https://youtu.be/YqtNzodB-u4 Or the bizarre instance where a tweet from the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) talking about abusive DMCA takedown requests was taken down itself. https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/15/18311091/piracy-tweet-dmca-takedown-request-starz-eff-american-gods When someone strikes you with a DMCA you are basically guilty until you go to court to prove otherwise. Which is not how this should work. Lowering the bar even further, let alone moving this process outside of federal court will be extremely damaging to pretty much every legitimate content creator. Double so for channels that do news or discussions topics where content of other parties is used in fair use. These, mostly small, businesses don't have the financial or legal power to actually take this to court and the Sony's and Warner Brothers of the world know this, instead there should be more responsibility on those multi billion dollar companies.
