I remember a case where a DMCA takedown was used to get access to the victim personal informations. I do not remember if this occured on youtube, but maybe it is related ?

Yeah, that's a trivially abused weakness. If you DMCA something, and the takedown-ee contests it, YouTube automatically shares the contact information of both parties. In effect: "We wash our hands of this, settle it amongst yourselves".
