    Have there ever been any consequences for false takedown requests you could point me at?

      Not any that I’m aware of. Most takedowns you hear about aren’t actually DMCA takedowns, they’re platform-specific systems that have no legal standing and no penalties for false requests. However, the DMCA does specifically say that false requests are a form of perjury.
