Has this changed at some point? Many years ago I had a takedown request on one of my videos. It was me showing a musical composition I made in some sequencing software and the claim appeared to be from the published of that software. I don't know why that company would have done that but I wondered if just anyone could have filed it claiming to be that company.
They told me that to contest I had to provide loads of legal documentation and essentially escalate it to a serious claim. It wasn't worth my time or worth risking actual legal trouble. I decided to just never upload a video to Youtube again and felt like it was a case of guilty until proven innocent. I'm sure it mentioned the DMCA in the request, though.
