> Can someone explain to me how links to copyright content come under DMCA?
I'd surmise it is because to non-technical users, the distinction between a "link" to the content and the "content" itself is something they don't understand. From their point of view, the "link" is the content because when they click the link, the content appears.
The vast majority of atty's filing dmca notices would fall into the non-technical user category.
