The problem is that these bots aren't making DCMA claims, theyr're just participating in an entirely voluntary process invented by the provider.
Obviously there is coercion/pressure being placed on providers by rights-holders to implement these systems, although I would have thought the providers would be very wary about waiving their safe harbour protections by interfering in this way.
