> You're only committing perjury if you falsely assert that you're authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the allegedly infringed right. The courts don't care about that either. In at least one of the cases against ISPs (cox I think) the RIAA sent a large number of DMCA notices for works they didn't even own the copyrights to. After years of work the ISP's lawyers found a bunch of them and told the court who did reduce the damages they were on the hook for to account for the invalid DMCA notices but the court took no action whatsoever against the RIAA for sending them.
