You can consider it a worldwide law:

  - a lot of big tech companies are based in the US
  - a lot of companies want to do business in the US
  - DCMA can become part of a trade agreement with the US, I don't know if the E.U. will save us at this point.

No, you can't. Let's not weaken words in order to make a presumed point.

I do appreciate that these are factors which make DMCA more relevant than if these factors did not exist. But your last point is not even a current fact but a hypothetical future.

I always invite people not to be defeatist but proactive in materializing the future they want to see. Citing unfortunate potential futures is not the right way to solve our problems.
