I believe there have been cases where youtube (and others) have restored the 
videos promptly even without a counter-claim being filed, because it was 
obviously not infringing. And there have been cases where youtube has kept 
the video down in spite of a counter-claim because it was clearly infringing 
and the counter-claim was clearly perjury. I'm not sure it's completely as 
cut-and-dry as it seems in the law, and of course Google has enough money to 
lawyer up to the gills if someone tries to abuse them legally for doing the 
right thing.
