Yeah I liked that too. Small Copyright Claims: Last time I mentioned it I got the usual "it will never work" and "it does no good" so the defeatists will never be happy, even if it's easier to prosecute, without going federal, without having a lawyer and without personally going to the state and location where the violation occurred.
Maybe at the same time, someone will wake up and see that DMCA is empty and stops nothing because there's no penalty. Next time you get a speeding ticket, just say, Oh I'm sorry, I'll go slower next time. And they won't give you a fine. Next shoplifter that gets caught with a half eaten candy bar, can just say, "I'll give back what's left. I didn't know it wasn't free." And they walk away without charges.
That what DMCA does. You say "I'll take it down", after you have to catch someone and they have been using your work for who knows how long (FREE!) and the crime goes away.
My personal answer is some reasonable, fine like $50 and once people had to pay these, it would be a quick learning experience across the web. Saying it's $250,000 per offense and it's impossible to collect, is just as useless as doing nothing.
Time the governments of the world turned around and protected artists rights (all creative artists!) on the web.
