What I'm referring to is that perjury seems to be limited to cases where the claim to represent the copyright holder is unauthorized. One can file any number of DMCA claims on otherwise false grounds (such as fair use, etc), and if the court then chooses to sue upon DMCA appeal, they can cost the user far more than they should be able to, even if the user wins, as long as the person filing the DMCA is authorized by the copyright holder to do so.
I would like to see such perjury charges be expanded to situations where it is clear the copyright holder's representative has acted in bad faith regarding whether infringement even happened, or whether it was justified infringement (fair use).
