Except lots of people wouldn't buy your shit if not for the addon.

It should be a requirement that companies include a good-faith estimate of actual economic damages in a DMCA, or an excellent reason why they cannot come up with such an estimate, and if there is a lawsuit stemming from this later be on the hook for those estimates actually being in good faith and not just "let's assume everyone in the country would have bought our dehumidifer if not for this GitHub repo existing ..."

I don't think anyone should have to estimate damages for DMCA. Damages are not an issue, it's still your copyright.

Instead, this seems like a completely bullshit copyright claim. That's what the ideal fix should be.

There's zero incentive to not do DMCA takedown notices, what are the consequences of getting it wrong? It's a great tool to intimidate anyone doing something you don't like. Haier has a legal team, this developer has nobody.
