This does not extend to any other statement, such as whether the file actually contains what the complainant claims, or whether any infringement actually happened. This penalty does not protect the receiver of a notice but the copyright holder.

But in quite a few high-profile cockups recently, the VICTIM of the takedown is the copyright holder. So yes, this COULD work.
I'm in the UK, so if I found my stuff being taken down I would probably sue in the small claims court. Cheap and simple. And very expensive for whoever is doing the takedowns - not each individual case, but it would be "death of a thousand cuts" if the affected little guys kept suing.
Cheers,
