Tech companies _cannot_ do anything. The DMCA is a terrible law, and requires that the company receiving a DMCA take down immediately take the claimed URLs down, or become liable if the claims aren't fraudulent. I recall originally it sounded like not only was an immediate take down required, but also they had to keep it down for two weeks even if the victim files a counter claim showing that it's BS. The law is designed specifically to enable this, because the recording industry bought a bunch of politicians, and said "hey we need to have a zero cost zero risk mechanism for us to remove content we believe to be pirated, without having any penalties for being wrong, but there must be penalties for the host services if they try to stop us".
