This could easily be fixed by having a consequence to fake DMCA reports. A fine or something. Something messed up that Youtube does is when someone files a copyright claim they get to take the money from your video. I have had times when I was sent a copyright strike for videos I have made and when I check my video is usually much older than the music that I am being accused of stealing.
I always win these disputes for obvious reasons but Youtube has never offered to make things right.
Basically the accused is guilty until proven innocent which is not how it should be.

- Kamq 3y agoWait, is youtube still doing that? I thought they moved to putting the money in escrow until the dispute was settled, which cut down on the majority of the false claims?
- archerx 3y agoIt’s been a couple years since my last attempted strike but it’s good to hear that they are trying solutions. Maybe that’s why I haven’t gotten one in a while.
- SkyPuncher 3y agoPart of the problem is many of these companies have a faux DCMA process. Rather than use the “official” DCMA process, they build a reporting mechanism in front of it. People can abuse it without facing federal repercussions.
- DangitBobby 3y agoIsn't a fake DMCA report "lying for profit" AKA fraud? And it's done on a computer making wire fraud, a federal crime. AFAIK this is already against the law and can be prosecuted, no need to add a new law for fines.
