Blame YouTube because they made the system. And if you dispute the claim, the clamer gets to decide if the clame was false. The system is totally wrong.

Exactly. The DMCA itself, as bad as it is, is less broken here. Under the DMCA, if you post a DMCA counter-notice, the site puts the content back up, and the claimant has to sue the person who uploaded it rather than the site. As bad as DMCA notices are, that system would still be much better than YouTube's current system.

You have a copyright claim against the claimant if they decide wrong. A lawyer would be needed to peruse it though, so it probably ins't worth it.
