>DMCA takedown requests are sent under the penalty of perjury for false claims

Unfortunately, perjury requires willful false statements, made in bad faith, which is very, very hard to prove. In fact, to my knowledge, nobody has ever successfully sued a major label for making bogus takedowns.

Perhaps a negligence clause should be added to the DMCA.
