I smell a potential operation!
For those who don't know, over the past week, Jewtube videos relating specifically to Bungie's
Destiny series have been receiving DMCA claims that have effected high level Jewtubers in the
Destiny community and even Bungie themselves. Yesterday, however, one of the culprits behind the DMCA claims revealed himself:

Under the alias of "Jeremy", the guy claims that he had his
Destiny channel false DMCAed; and, after no luck with the counter-notification system, he started filing false claims against high level
Destiny Jewtubers for the purpose of forcing Jewtube and Bungie to get involved about all of the false claims and to solve the issue. Whether they will or won't is still up in the air, but that's beside the point.
Where the possible operation comes from is that, according to Jeremy, it's incredibly easy to sign up as a representative for a company for the purposes of filing DMCA claims. You just need to provide some bogus info, state that you work for some copyright strike firms, and state which copyright holder said firm representatives. Once you do that, you have free reign to take down anything and everything related to said copyright content without any retribution. Couldn't this be exploited for the purposes digging Jewtubes grave even further?
The only flaw that I see is that any attempt by users to send a counter-notification to the DMCA claims you make is that they will have to end up doxxing themselves to you because they are required to fur the purposes of completing a counter-notification.
