btw you dodged the question
if you truly believed that this law is not going to be abused what your problem with raising the penalty for making a bogus claim to complete loss of copyright.

Agreed, far too many are sent out by automatic programs and this needs to stopped. By removing obvious piracy site a lot of the work against pirates will disappear. Allowing more time for more accurate DMCA's. We all know Hotfile is a site running off of piracy and profiting from piracy. We can easily identify the pirated content. Once that's done and their funding is removed. They are no more. So what's left to deal with?
Yes people making bogus claims need to be hit hard. Even to the extreme of them losing copyright if they don't pay the fine. Same could apply to piracy sites. Which is te problem today, no one takes any real notice of the penalties of piracy.
The clause in the DMCA that allows publishers to get away with not checking, needs removing. It was meant for hosting services, not publishers who do hosting.
