>No one is advocating that Cloudflare should be the moral arbiter tasked with policing all sites on the internet,
Except that is what I see both on and off the internet. That is why I raised the question. Especially where there is a distinction between Hosting provider and transit provider. It would be more appreciated in this case to be writing to the site's host and not Cloudflare. ( Unless it is hosted on Cloudflare workers then we would have argue it differently ) Or as OP have pointed to the different about banks. It is all about different layer of stack, which people often seems to lump it all together.
DMCA is completely separate issues. But I do agree DMCA is being misused a lot.
Lets also not forget about fair use -- right now the TOS on Youtube and Twitch counts cases of legitimate fair use, like using a 10-20 second segment of a taylor swift song in a gaming montage, as an automatic DMCA strike. Slowly but surely they have eroded the definition of fair use to basically mean there is no such thing as fair use in practice. Complain about that shit instead?
