On a few things.
One, if I read the safe harbor stuff correctly, then if you ignore a DMCA notice it means you can now be sued for hosting the content. If a host decides they are willing to run that risk, I believe they can happily ignore a DMCA notice.
Two, basic business knowledge. YouTube partners with a lot of the major media companies, and taking down large volumes of their stuff in a way that looks dumb would harm their partnerships. Companies are very reluctant to bite the hand that feeds them.
Three, if someone could take down everything on YouTube by forging a zillion DMCA notices, I expect some enterprising troublemaker would have done it long ago just for the lulz.
Ok! Your turn. What's your evidence? Because that's what I asked for before and nobody replied.
