You're clearly not seeing the allegations in this event. Viacom evidently sent youtube a DMCA notification, falsely claiming to own the tutorial video and requesting that it be removed. They never used the tutorial video or anything like it themselves, and may never have seen it. Slander of title related to IP is rarely mentioned, because usually people falsely claiming copyright ownership can be more straightfowardly demonstrated to have infringed it by distributing the work or something related.
