That obviously doesn't work or doesn't mean anything. That's why a Statutory fine for specific things such as: * not stating an actual copyright infringement * not being the registered owner or agent of the copyright Those two would get rid of a LOT of abuse immediately. Such as people using DMCA for something not copyright related, such as to shut someone up for saying something they don't like. To silence criticism. Etc. Those are beyond clear examples of DMCA abuse. The other is when someone who has no actual interest in the copyright merely uses the DMCA to silence something because they recognize it might be a copyright infringement -- whether the actual copyright owner cares or not.
