Why the 'Dancing Baby' copyright case is just hi-tech victim shaming

NinjasFTW

yes because we often hear of all of those pesky small people who files millions of automated DCMA take down requests that get accepted by default without any consequences of mistaken fillings.

Oh wait....

I know, lets move into a world where every single possible combination of notes/words/thoughts are held under copyright and without any of that fair use malakey.

That way nothing new can ever be created without someone else getting a cut (see the recent decision where the 'feel' of Robin Thickes Blurred Lines was enough to trigger the lawyers)

That way big corporations (and lets face it, it wont be ordinary people owning anything) can get a cut for every thing that ever happens with the usual last minute extensions to copyright terms in perpetuity.
