Are you seriously trying to suggest copyright infringement has not been an issue over the last 30 years? Both of them are solutions to problems that we've had over the last 30 years and were created for the greater good to solve problems that developers were facing.

Tell me when DMCA law has worked in favor of small companies/developers?

DMCA is abused every. single. time.

Individual self employed photographers successfully use the DMCA to get significant payouts from large publishers and news organisations every single day.

Like literally hundreds of thousands, every day.

Movies, games and music are multi billion dollar industries, in what way have they struggled in a world of endless piracy being possible?

Grocery stores are a trillion dollar industry yet you will see stores that close due to theft being possible. The simplest way games and music struggle is losing a sale because people can play them without paying.
