but the question was not should it be illegal it was are they illegal

90% who think the DMCA "loophole actually foster the stolen content b usiness model" should realize that "loophole" does in fact make their actions legal.
BTW many fair use proponents have argued that the DMCA goes to far, and is in fact a censorship tool, because there is no significant penlty for making a false take down request. If using the example i gave to lady mischief about layering in "Tubes killed the pornstar" for me to keep my content online i would have to respond to the take down request, you could then sue me, and i would have to spend 100k to defend my fair use right of parody/comentary. Since fair use is an affirmative defence, i would have to pony up the doe to protect my rights.
If i am mistaken about my fair use right, i am liable for massive statutory damages, if i am right i just get to keep my fair use content online.
my god people it a single page form letter per tube site.
They list the videos that were added today so you only have to review a couple of pages of content /day max.
There are dozens of services which will do the reviewing for you, and get your content removed.
