I wish this kind of behavior were punishable under the "reckless disregard for the truth" doctrine. (And also that perjury for lying on DMCAs was better enforced in general.)
It does need it, but who would do that? It’s not a public enough issue that the average voter would care, and the people who abuse dmca will inevitably be large companies.
Googles position on this is the risk of ignoring a DMCA/copywrite report is that they get sued, which is understandable. Even if you can/could countersue a fictitious report, it would be cost prohibitive.
I just wish the law would enable ignoring of continued false claims. Once your name is burnt, you should have a harder time reporting things in future.

We really need to reform DMCA, for example require posting a bond if a challenge is disputed.

I really hope NVidia takes this to court and manages to sue them for a ridiculous amount that sets a precedent.
For corporations it's an honor system.
For the lowly users it's strike first ask questions later.
