I hope that soon it will sink with the masses that DMCA takedowns are mostly censorship.

Currently the system allows taking down everything you don't like.

Just amend the law to have a fine of 0.01% of yearly corporate revenue for each bogus notice sent and enjoy the show.

I'd wager "the masses" don't understand the concept of censorship and certainly don't care about universal protections against it.

Who would accept that wager? The results are already in and you are correct. :)
