the musicians love it when their original work is DMCA'd by bad actors and YT takes it down and never answers the appeal /s

two sides to the coin, we'll hear about how some evil corporation used their influence to have a legitimate project DMCA'd and HN will have the opposite reaction on that day

something like "jury duty" from the community seems an interesting idea for a middle path, if we want better systems, we'll all need to contribute a little to making it so

Requiring an independent jury decide the appeal sounds like a good idea to me, but good luck getting a law passed that forces it...
