Is there actually a recorded instance of someone getting charged for perjury relating to a DMCA request?

I don't know what happened with this case: https://torrentfreak.com/warner-bros-our-false-dmca-takedown...

The law is pretty clearly broken. I kind of hope Google is collecting all the false take down requests they get.

Submitting a false report, under penalty of perjury, and saying "whoops algorithms lol" shouldn't be something they get away with.

There's this too: https://www.eff.org/press/archives/2004/10/15
