Politicians are out for themselves in my opinion.
But there is too much money being lost by legitimate mainstream businesses online for them to ignore this problem. The people putting money in their pockets are demanding that it be corrected.
And I do believe that "yes" the companies affected do understand how it works and are actively working on shaping the legislation and treaties that govt.'s are moving towards.
Thieves have been using the DMCA law in a perverted way to STEAL and profit off of others. As I said earlier...just look at Pornhub. Millions of people visit that site everyday. Take away all the content that doesn't belong to them? That site would be a ghost town.
Something has to be done or the internet will cease to be a place to do viable business for people creating their own content. I think that much has already been shown just by looking at how many companies went out of business already and how many are struggling.
And yes, some will say: "They just couldn't adapt"
"Adapt" means one of two things: Profit off of stolen content like Manwin, Pirate Bay, fileshare sites.....or protect your content and spend time and effort fighting to survive while the Manwins of the world laugh at you.
Neither one is acceptable. The only solution is for the loophole in the DMCA law to be closed and copyright to actually mean something again.
