This would pretty much entirely remove the ability for regular people outside the US to use the DMCA while corporations to abuse the system.

No, requiring any party to be damaged based on accusations alone is absurd. Copyright infringement is not a life or death matter. It can wait for a judge to at least look at the matter. And if that is too expensive for society then maybe reconsider copyright instead of externalizing the cost required to maintain the fiction that information can be scarce.
