i'm not sure why you think it's a farce though, not allowing third parties to file complaints

(e.g. see youtube, where this is (used to be?) poorly enforced, it's a mess)

I thought their process was just a checkbox that said "trust me bro i own this" basically

it's more "you agree, under penalty of perjury, you are this individual or legally represent them". all DMCA stuff
