All of this because they don't want you to download Guizmo - Dans ma ruche (https://ssyoutube.com/en691rT/)

Not the first time they've spammed DMCA takedowns either: https://lumendatabase.org/faceted_search?sender_name=Because...

In comically French fashion, their complaints also include the same message in French just in case someone in Mountain View is more fluent in French than in English. I wonder if this is just a bunch of amateurs hired by the French label or if they actually pay legal professionals to spam these.

Isn't Google forced to comply with DMCA takedown requests regardless of their legitimacy?

No, that’s just how they’ve chosen to handle them to keep their unofficial “safe harbor” status since net neutrality is dead.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The way the DMCA works, to my understanding, Google has to accept the notice, unless NewPipe submits a counter notice, which can be done here: https://support.google.com/legal/troubleshooter/1114905 Proceed as if reporting infringement, and the option will appear to specify this is a counter report. If the reporter chooses to continue, the next step is with the courts.

I don't think counter notices apply to circumvention devices. There is also no liability exemption for service providers.
