> Content ID is not the DMCA. Content ID got it wrong here, and that happens all the time. It's not a big deal for the claimer. Which is totally contrary to how DMCA works, if someone makes a wrong claim there it gets very expensive for them.

That simply is not true. DMCA misclaims are pretty much not punished at all in practice.

The provisions are there. If they are not used it's either because the violated party does not sue or because the US justice system again is not working properly. But at least that's how the system ought to work. With Content ID there is no recourse at all against misuse, it all relies on Youtube to care. Which it doesn't seem to do at all.

The provisions don't protect against a wrong claim but a purposefully false claim. Unless you can come up with proof that the claimant knew they were filing a false claim you are out of luck.
