I don't think YouTube alters the video, it may be that users repost with 
the audio scrubbed out.

But yes, with DMCA takedown they take it down, but they do have an appeal 
process.  The video is replaced by something that says it was taken down 
and whom the request came from (there used to be a recording of Bill 
Bailey's Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra up there, but it was taken 
down due to a copyright assertion by Bill Bailey and there's a notice 
that says so).
