There are huge YouTube channels such as Linus Tech Tips reviewing $100 devices that contain copyrighted games that would have retailed for over a million dollars. This is not normal and is very different from an individual downloading some ROMs.

No, one cannot just comply with the "general rules" of GDPR, you have to comply with every last letter of the considerable legal legislation. The fact that the rules can be generalised to a reasonable few paragraphs is meaningless.
Do these accidents happen regularly in capitalist countries such as Sweden, Norway and Germany? If not then perhaps the problem is not capitalism but America's regulatory system.
