But it isn't actually a copyright issue, but a DMCA issue. If he wants to consider the DMCA part of copyright that is fine, but his other statements were about things which are not part of the DMCA (and in some cases not copyright either).

The DMCA specifically says that it isn't intended to interfere with fair use rights under copyright law. That is why the fair use carve-out under copyright law can also be used under the DMCA.
