There really needs to be an immediate financial cost associated with incorrect DMCA takedowns.

For instance, the entity the requests are made of (in this case Google) should be able to claim money for every false take down request.

Furthermore, when a request takes down a bunch of material because it's so broad, there should be an extremely steep fine for each item taken down that should not have been taken down.

Logarithmic scale for each item taken down incorrectly.

Or exponential? You want the steep cost if they do it a lot, not for someone who does it once in error. Logarithmic scale would decrease the fine for subsequent infractions.

Yep, you're right and my post is asinine.
