There's got to be a little more to it than that (at least for bigger channels) because it would mean that random people could take down Psy's "Gangnam Style" video[1]. I haven't tried it but I really doubt submitting a simple web form will get that video with 2 billion views removed.
Therefore, I'm guessing there's a whitelist of special userids (e.g. WarnerBrosMusic, TaylorSwiftVEVO, etc) or adminstrative overrides to prevent vandals from shutting down legitimate videos. In other words, if there's an automated system for takedowns, there's another more god-like automated system that ignores abusers submitting them.
The interesting question is: How do "nobodys" get that "benefit of doubt" treatment for their videos?
