I know how the DMCA works. The problem is step 2. Step two should be "platform notifies possible violator that claim has been made". The platform should not be punished for leaving the content up. Right now, under the DMCA, if they leave the content up, they become liable. That should not be the case.

Furthermore, YouTube et al don't follow the DMCA. Their process is outside the DMCA, and starts with automated enforcement on behalf of the copyright holder, with no recourse for the potential violator.

By the way, the arrangement you suggest is called "notice and notice" (by contrast with "notice and takedown").
