IANAL but best I can tell it is with regards to filing the takedown notice rather than taking them to court. If it is just the sending of a takedown notice, then holy fuck have they abused it.

Oh, most certainly they have abused it, no question about that.

The problem is if either side folded at notice / notice response step, then that abuse is visible only to platforms that receive those notices, not to the courts.
