This could easily be fixed by having a consequence to fake DMCA reports. A fine or something. Something messed up that Youtube does is when someone files a copyright claim they get to take the money from your video. I have had times when I was sent a copyright strike for videos I have made and when I check my video is usually much older than the music that I am being accused of stealing.

I always win these disputes for obvious reasons but Youtube has never offered to make things right.

Basically the accused is guilty until proven innocent which is not how it should be.
