It's only real pirates who "suffer" from false and erroneous DMCAs, because they cannot file counter DMCAs with their real contact information - even when they know materials they stole is from some other copyright holder, not the one they're getting DMCAs from, they still cannot file counter DMCAs because they're afraid to reveal their identities. For legit guys there's no such problem as false DMCAs, it is simply non existant.

Good points. If you run a site that conforms to the existing laws of copyright, then you have nothing to worry about. If you think the Internet for some absurd reason is exempt of existing laws. Then you have problems.
Now the question is.
Should people who create products like movies, music, programs, games, books, porn, etc. Suffer so other companies and people, not creating these products, prosper at their expense?
That really is ultimately the question. GG thinks they should. As do a lot here arguing against the tide. Me shouting at things I don't like is getting read and answered here by the people I shout at. It has more effect than the anti SOPA brigade here.
