So there's a provision in the law for this:
1. hoster gets slapped with DMCA takedown notice, it is now incumbent upon the hoster to take down the content.
(this is where most hosters stop, but...)
2. hoster can notify poster of takedown. poster can now file a counter-claim. hoster can make this easy by offering the counter-claim forms pre-filled, etc.
3. with counter-claim filed, hoster can now restore content immediately. it stays up until original claimant responds to counter-claim.
(most claimants don't follow up on counter-claims because doing so a) is time expensive, and b) requires actual proof of violation!)

The DMCA, and copyright in general, is being used as an excuse to suppress legitimate speech, especially political speech.
The DMCA should not exist, and copyright should be strictly limited to 20 years, not the Mickey Mouse corruption we have now, extending it indefinitely.
