It's obviously not supposed to be a disclaimer of any legal value, judging from the sentence immediately after your quote: "I might take down these tracks or add more depending on the number of lawsuits I get slapped with". I don't particularly condone this attitude, but at least it's pretty clear. Either you slap him with a lawsuit/DMCA and the tracks will be removed or you don't and they probably won't.

Hey OP here, the tracks I used are taken from https://www.youtube.com/user/gamingsoundfx which is kinda a royalty-free stock audio library, I realise now that my statement that was funny when I wrote it might come back to haunt me dreams so I am gonna update it, Thanks for letting me know
I wouldn't describe it as 'royalty-free stock audio library'. It's obvious many sounds aren't free to use, be it rips from games or TV shows.
The DMCA process with GitHub and most hosting sites is very straightforward and mostly automatic, I don't see why it would be a problem. With most older works it's nigh impossible to figure out who owns the copyright anyway.
