True. Though YouTube's ContentID / 3-strikes system isn't even the DMCA process. It's easier yet for the claimant.
It does help reduce the legal threat to YouTube itself. The company is more likely to be sued by a large copyright holder than its many small video uploaders. Though the latter have been known to show up in a disgruntled state of mind and with harmful intent at HQ. That risk is also shifted, from shareholders to employees and contractors.
YouTube from a risk perspective is grotesquely fascinating.
