The DMCA has a counter-claim system. In 2008, Thunderf00t (Phil Mason) quite famously had many of his videos wrongfully taken down by a Christian Extremist called VenomFangX using the DMCA. Phil went through the process of suing him, though they eventually settled, and VenomFangX had to quit YouTube for a year. There was a video series about it[1].
