Lots of people are saying that this is not evidence that copyright is evil; only overreaching enforcement is.<p>I'd submit that, increasingly, these two ideas are indistinguishable.<p>I'm very much in favor of copyright (after all, I make a living by creating protected works) but as automated and over-reaching enforcement like this becomes the norm, it is increasingly difficult for me to defend this position.<p>Unfortunately, I don't know what the "next best alternative" to copyright protection is. That is, what kind of system would one need to protect us from these kinds of incidents?
