The subsequent DMCA notice that's filed is the problem. DMCA has a huge problem with abuse from automated filings. Every takedown notice should be prepared by a human. Writing software that automates the process is a crime against culture.

Again, the conclusion doesn't follow. DMCA being abused doesn't mean that copyright is inherently wrong or that software that makes it possible for copyright holders to find offenders is evil or a "crime against culture."
