It is only perjury to claim that you are the owner or qualified to act on the behalf of the owner of the copyrighted work that you allege is being infringed upon. For instance, if you are some random person, it would be perjury to file a DMCA takedown for a legitimately infringing video on YouTube of Steamboat Willie, because you are not Disney. It is not perjury (under the wording of the DMCA) if there is a video titled "Willie and his Steamboat" which is of a child playing with a toy steam boat and does not contain any footage from the Disney video, if you legitimately are authorized by the copyright owner of Steamboat Willie (Disney).
