Yes, but actual DMCA process, not YouTube's process that isn't really based on DMCA at all.

The process DMCA uses is: 1) person claiming their copyright is being infringed sends a DMCA takedown notice to the platform. 2) Platform takes down the content (doesn't "keep it up and redirect revenue" like YouTube does) and notified the person who posted the content. 3) The person who posted the content can submit a counterclaim, at which point platform provider reinstates the content.

Then the person claiming their copyright is being violated disagrees, they have to sue the person in federal court for copyright infringement at that point.

Also there are penalties for making false DMCA claims. There don't appear to be ANY penalties for repeated, egregious violations of YouTube's own claim system.

What YouTube is doing isn't DMCA enforcement AT ALL.

This is the beauty of using RESTful hypermedia! You can change video host without changing the URL your fans have bookmarked. Maybe use some Switzerland based host!

In terms of the domain name system and takedowns: You are subject to the law still but I believe that it will be the law itself rather than a Go program in a google server saying “tough shit”
