The RIAA has been actively abusing the DMCA for as long as it has existed. It was unethical then and it's unethical now.

  As far as most anyone is concerned, monitoring YouTube for user-initiated copyright violations to send takedown notices is precisely what the DMCA was intended to be used for.

    When "user-initiated copyright violations" means "Fair Use doesn't exist", then you have abuse.

      Agreed. My then-3 year old daughter danced to the tune of Da Funk and I uploaded it. The sound was removed, even though it was in the background. It was Fair Use for sure. Shame on YouTube, quite seriously - I didn't cost Daft Punk anything!
