Your YouTube support link isn't about the DMCA, and in fact is an attempt at trying to get people to use their system instead of the DMCA. YouTube's internal copyright takedown system is just that: Internal.

It is in YouTube's best interests for you NOT to use the DMCA as there are avenues where it can leave YouTube themselves civilly liable (OCILLA[0]), so they work hard to funnel people into their internal copyright system that doesn't expose YT.
