Not sure I agree, because of the scope of initial and subsequent distribution 
and the target of enforcement actions.

Copyright holders usually aim to maximise profitable distribution, and  
DMCA-like enforcement is aimed at consumers. Privacy requires minimal 
initial disclosure of information, followed by (at least in jurisdictions such 
as the EU that support fair information practices) corporate enforcement, 
which is much easier.
