This needs to be done by larger companies. Right now all a
person has to do is claim copyright infringement, and companies take down. There is a guy on Ebay who claimed he owned the copyright to a old
watch making school workbook(Chicago School of Watch Repair). Well
he didn't own the copyright, but Ebay wouldn't even bother
to look into it. There should be clear penalties for falsely claiming ownership to a copyright? I understand small companies caving in, but larger companies should do a
little due diligence?

That's the way the DMCA is written. If someone files a DMCA takedown, companies have to take it down (or risk liability themselves). Right. To change it, Congress would need to change it, there's nothing larger companies can do.
