It does nothing unless a prosecutor files criminal charges, which according to this law stackexchange post[0] has never happened for fake DMCA takedowns. A federal prosecutor would enforce it, if they actually cared (they don’t). So we ended up with a system where large companies can spray and pray DMCA claims all over the internet with no consequences for inaccuracy. This results in absurd situations like Warner Bros issuing a DMCA takedown against itself.[1] [0]https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/51541/has-anyone-been-convicted-of-perjury-for-false-dmca-takedown-notices https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/51541/has-anyone-bee...
