Regardless of what the (obscure) legal reality is in this matter, do you agree that this woman presents her case in a juvenile way, and shows a general lack of understanding of the real-world procedures (as opposed to how keyboard warriors imagine things are or should be) in matters like this, and an apparent unwillingness to learn about them, to a point where it makes her seem unsuitable to voice an informed opinion about it, and certainly ill-suited to be the flag bearer for a contentious topic like this one?

See how that works?

No, I don't agree. Anger at harassment and injustice isn't juvenile. Use of jargon familiar to her audience isn't juvenile either. Although I can see why others would see it that way.

apparent unwillingness to learn about them

I do agree this seems apparent.

To a point where it makes her seem unsuitable to voice an informed opinion about it

I don't know enough to judge.

The people who filed the request are obviously trolling in order to:

1) Get the videos removed. 2) Potentially get real-life identifying information in order to enact a campaign of harassment. I would hate for GWW to be harassed. She is a breath of fresh air.

The DMCA is fine when the complaints are legit. This penalizes both YouTube and the content creator.
