    The YouTube deal isn’t “instead” of the DMCA; it’s in addition to it. Copyright holders are free to bypass it if they like, and posters are (at least in theory) able to file a counterclaim against the takedown and force the copyright holder to use the DMCA process instead of letting Youtube have the final say.
