Check out the DMCA link at the bottom of this very site. It's fairly awesome. "If you believe that content residing or accessible on or through the our website (“Services”) infringes a copyright, please send a written notice (by fax or regular mail) to the Designated Agent at the address below. You may not communicate the information specified below by email. Please note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and attorney’s fees) if you materially misrepresent that material is infringing your copyright(s)."

Neat as that may be in concept, the process laid out in the act is the one that must be followed, and it can't be amended by an individual/business posting some other process on a webpage. As far as I can recall, the DMCA does not specify that counternotices must be filed by mail. Designated agent registrations include an e-mail address. If YC chose to ignore a counternotice because it didn't like something about how it was delivered, but that delivery conformed to the act's requirements, then YC would not have safe harbor protection and would remain directly liable for copyright infringement.
