I hope Google did take down the official content, just like their owner asked! That might push the industry to take a harder look at their DMCA takedown automation.

Doing that might give these morons the impression that what they do is legit. In the long run that might not work out well for the smaller websites and their content.

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.
