So, something is not non-infringing just because someone drops a single DMCA claim.

Sadly, even in that case, the future DMCA's are just as valid, and Google would likely be just as liable, even if they are doing it abusively.

Again, the abuse is something to get a judge to look at, not Google.

Without a declaratory judgement of non-infringement in hand, there is actually nothing to say it's non-infringing, all you've done is get someone to drop a DMCA claim.
