I find this somewhat unfair considering that there are special interest groups out there that are falsely filing DMCA's to remove content that is contrary to their special interest.

Isn't that a risky strategy, given the fact that the law specifically states that filing a false DMCA report can result in damages (including court costs and the injured parties' legal fees)?
