It's not a simple mistake, it's the result of using dumb automated systems without caring in the least if it affects anyone else. In the past they've already sent DMCA notices about news articles[1] and to takedown notices themselves[2].

Edit: I agree with the other commenters there should be some sort of financial penalty for this. It's a simple mistake but as it will impact the author of the novel negatively Fox should have to reimburse him in someway. I'm not exactly sure how that would work but it's something that needs to be looked at with the DMCA.
