Yes, but copyright has fair use exception. And in theory when you send a DMCA, you are suppose to consider fair use[0], so this seems more like abuse.

This is the UK? DMCA doesn't apply there?


Pretty sure when you submit a DMCA you submit to US jurisdiction, and since YouTube's copyright strike are their version of "DMCA", and they are a US company, I'd venture to say it's probably still US law they are under for this as they even site fair use[0]
