I stopped buying Nintendo products awhile ago. I'm not a fan of how they treat people. The DMCA needs to be eradicated, it is just a way for companies to bully people.

It also allows you to easily take down someone infringing upon your own rights to your work. Prior to the DMCA, you'd either have to rely on the good graces of the hosting platform, pay a lawyer for a C&D, or file a lawsuit.

The DMCA safe harbor provision is absolutely huge to the ability of sites to host user generated content.

Without it, sites would have to be far more restrictive because they'd potentially be liable for that content.
