How Copyright Maximalism kills transparency: The Death of Chilling Effects Clearinghouse

Search and image results that get removed let's say links to fan works on DeviantArt usually ends up on Chilling Effects Clearinghouse. But now it's seems that IP maximalists have killed transparency using the "take down, ask questions later"  procedure. So now Chilling Effects is all but dead, it won't be long until the site shut itself down after being threatened by corporate copyright maximalists

So we are screwed until DeviantArt becomes the next victim to be forced to remove all the fan art and even the fan art category from the site.
