Until there is a financial penalty for wrongful use of the DMCA this type of thing will continue.

They use robots to create reports (maybe not in this case) because for them there is simply zero downside.

That downside needs to exist.

There is no reason this kind of glitch should even be happening. There should be some kind of date attribute that gets attached to the ContentID data that Fox submits, and YouTube should reject takedowns for which that date is later than the date the video in question was uploaded. This is just ridiculous.

Yeah, if all said were true, YouTube is as much at fault as Fox is.

I agree that this should not be happening. But your solution is unworkable.

Upload priority is not proof of ownership or creation. If you upload one of Fox's movie trailers before they do, they should still definitely be able to take you down.

SmarterEveryDay told a story in one of his videos about slow-mo clip of tatoo machine in action being ripped from one of his movies by the large press publisher, Bauer, and reuploaded on Bauer's Facebook page. Then Bauer moved on to claim DMCA on his original uploaded by him on his Facebook page:

Then there could be a time delay of X months after which automated take downs aren't done.

Original clip was uploaded 8 years before Fox published their version.
