Here's the idea: rather than sending the DMCA claim by e-mail, send it by post. That means it has to be processed by a human being, and since it's a legal document they CANNOT ignore it. But, and this is important, ONLY include an e-mail address for them to contact you so you can remain anonymous. Then when your sock account receives the DMCA notification, respond by post again, so AGAIN someone needs to go through the hassle of processing your response.
No, but I got my ass covered from a legal perspective, that's all that counts there. The e-mail got sent, and I got a confirmation of receipt. I can legally assume that they bothered to read it.
Ah, I see. This actually makes it harder for YT to pay attention. Is there a possible way to break the automated policies? My guess is that all DMCA's go to a server that specifically handles them, but do we know the capacity limits of that server? You see where I'm getting at.
There wouldn't be any trouble as such. The only party that would be entitled to seek prosecution is the injured party, which in this case would be your own sock account, so why would you sue yourself?
Having said that, the only problem I can perceive is that all these false DMCAs will be handled by YT's own automated policies, and the staff won't even notice it, so I would say that participants should respond to their own DMCAs in writing forcing humans in YT to deal with it ;-)
Ok, I have added CiphersSon and godlessmessiah.

See my "letter to YouTube" of about a month ago.

Really? I just need to know if there is anyway people can be sure that they won't be in any major trouble if they tried it.

I know what your saying, I just don't agree to support him, in spite of my major dislike of false DMCAs.
