Sending false DMCA Takedown requests needs to be punishable with a fine per offense. Poorly implemented automation can't be allowed to happen like this.
One of the worst cases I've ever seen was YouTube taking down TheFatRat's own song because some record label claimed to own it. https://twitter.com/thisisthefatrat/status/1072933046939193344?lang=en https://twitter.com/thisisthefatrat/status/10729330469391933...
EDIT: Apparently filing false DMCA claims is indeed a criminal action. I guess it's either very poorly enforced, or very strictly defined as to not apply to most situations that are obviously wrong.
