These are not DMCA claims. These are automated Content ID claims, made possible by the automated system Google put in place for this purpose. They have nothing to do with any law. It is an extralegal mechanism. The DMCA only comes into place once disputes get rejected by the copyright holder. Google can and absolutely should police Content ID more, such as by penalizing groups that register non-music into the system.
