My bet is someone did a DMCA claim on a file containing 1, either by mistake or as a joke.

Then Automated Stupidity took over.

I'd guess some giant folder of mostly-copyrighted material, which happened to include those files for some reason.

Na, it’s gotta be something dumb on the big G’s part. I bet their unit tests for their DCMA search have test cases with simple files like 1 and 0, and those cases are just put into the “copyright” database.
