If you're not using infringing materials, all you have to do is to file a counter DMCA. Big deal. And then they'll have to prove in court it is infringing if they still want it down, and will be liable for damages and have to pay all of your legal expenses if their takedown request was found a bogus one.
It didn't prove any disaster or a censorship tool in the US, that's just bs and scare tactic. But the piracy DID prove to be a disaster, undermining the whole industries, leaving lots of people uneployed or underpaid etc.
