Sorry, but no. Google deserves at least a portion of the blame here. By short-circuiting the DMCA process Google is removing the few protections the DMCA does afford the complainee. That's bullshit.

Can you clarify what you mean by "short circuiting"?

Youtube takedowns and Content ID aren't the DMCA, there's a custom youtube policy with its own rules.

You could send them a DMCA takedown, but why would you? Their system favors the person trying to remove content even more than the DMCA does.

That's not correct.

Content ID is an automated takedown, but if you dispute a content ID claim, then the content owner has to respond with a DMCA takedown request if they want to continue the process.

All other takedowns (including that web form) are DMCA takedowns.
