Just as video uploaders can have strikes placed against their accounts, so should users of the ContentID system. A potential solution would be adding a "fraudulent claim" response option (requiring a detailed explanation) for people to reply to takedown/monetization notices with. When a ContentID account gets too many of these checks (verified by an actual human being working at youtube) they are cut off from the system for a period of time. If this response is used incorrectly more than a couple of times by a given account, they would be locked out of using it in the future to prevent flagrant abuse/bogging down of the system. Potential for liability on false copyright claims will never be added to the law because big entertainment has the government in its pocket. Thus it falls on content hosts/providers to force abusive industries to "play fair". ContentID itself being a terrible system is beside the point, and an argument for another day.
