I'm pretty sure sending fake DMCA requests is illegal, and it doesn't matter if it's a mistake.

  It's illegal only if it was intentional. A mistakenly sent DMCA request is okay, as long as the sender follows up with a disregard notice.

    Was it?

      There were no takedown requests. The whole discussion is moot.

    but what he's saying is he sent a notice of a DMCA takedown, not an actual takedown request.
