I am pretty sure that those are not actual copyright claims in a DMCA sense. Sadly Youtube is using some internal system with these claims. I assume they were pressured into this by the music industry for ease of squeezing money out of it.

Actually the DMCA requires large players to create some kind of automated system to prevent infringement.

Thus subverting the penalty of perjury of the DMCA

YouTube has the automated service. The rights holders are not filing claims. There is no perjury.

It’s all about balance. What’s the point of having a takedown procedure if uploading a thousand copies is easier than taking down one?
