No, it's more that it's easy to guess the likely cause here:
* a lawyer sends a DMCA request to Youtube
* a Youtube bot looks at the offending request and finds a user agent
* Kicks off automated warning to Apple bot
* Apple bot shuts down developer account
All that's really needed here is a bot to post these things to Twitter and HackerNews and then an API for the service bots to read the complaints and undo the action with a phony apology post
