Counter-notification that the copyright claim is false or in bad faith is already a mechanism available to Youtubers. While this can turn into an extended and lengthy process for restoring the video, if the claim is baseless and the original copyright complaint can't be substantiated by initiating court action in the defendant's jurisdiction, then the video should be restored within 10 business days.

Since a scammer is only looking for quick money and not a protracted legal battle that they can't win anyways (they're playing whack-a-mole odds to see who complies), this is a non-issue if the youtubers just use the tools provided them.
Why did not a single top comment in this article, or the source article, or slashdot's commentary article mention this mechanism? Because none of you bothered to even google what someone might do in this situation.
