So companies like YouTube generally comply instead of spending the time and resources it takes to check if the DMCA complaint is valid. This has led to some corporations and people abusing DMCA complaints to shut down small content creators that don’t have the resources to fight them, because the hosting platforms will almost always comply with the complaint. It’s a bad system that punishes smaller creators and enables abusing copyright claims. I imagine this would quickly become a problem if you can get kicked from the site from getting copyright claimed multiple times.</blockquote>
