As I understand it, they send the takedown notice, you reply, and google’s part is done, legally speaking. At that point, they can sue you to take it down. The problem being, your account goes away if you receive a few of these notices. Google could stop taking videos down if you reply, but I don’t think that’s going to happen, but perhaps at that point, google could require them to pay a refundable fee, google has a look at the video (a real look), and if they find against them, they keep the money. This way bogus claims get a cost to them, but valid claims only have the cost of loaning google the fee.
