The overarching terms of the DMCA are specified by the 1996 WIPO Copyright Treaty, which every developed country has implemented.

It might be, but enforcement is a different thing. For example russian search engines are not blocking streaming websites like US/EU ones do.

Countries don't care about copyright until they make stuff worth stealing.

US copyright tends to be less restrictive and more relaxed than many other countries.

Not true as you can see here.

The DMCA is crazy though, you can just request a takedown and the onus is on the host. And then if it turns out you didn't actually have the right to do that... well that has to be sorted out later.

Seriously. When is this happening?

Broadly speaking, it's inevitable that some jurisdiction will decide to observe the unclothed emperor here and create a legal framework without the yoke of all of this "intellectual property". Obviously, it will thrive, and everyone will flock to use services there.

What then?
