I also think DMCA is terribly designed, but it is no wonder -- it was designed by and with only interest of copyright holders. As to chilling effect on reporters, I disagree. We have laws to protect people from libel, and yet it does not have chilling effect on reporters. And yet it is essentially exactly the same thing I am thinking about. The damage from libel is to an individual. The damage from misinformation is to entire society. The reason libel laws work is that the number of cases isn't overwhelming the court system. But if you rewind time 20 years and you suspended libel law for a moment, if everybody could publish in a newspaper or TV whatever they want about whoever they want. What do you think would happen? A deluge of false information about everybody. What would people say about somebody wanting to introduce a libel law? That "it would have a chilling effect on journalism".
