More to the point, these aren’t DMCA takedowns. They’re systems built by YouTube to avoid the need for DMCA takedowns. As such, you don’t have legal rights to fight the takedown. It’s all in the EULA. There’s a system built to make it seem like you have an option, but it’s mostly a smoke screen over the industry’s take down bot farms.

And they should apply the same penalty to any such pseudo-DMCA takedown systems.
