You have a right to answer a DMCA takedown request. It is optional, but if you feel that you were wrongly accused, maybe you should answer it so there is a written record of your position on the complaint. Google has announced that it will take into consideration the number of DMCA notices filed against websites in computing its algorithms for ranking sites. However, it doesn't seem to be affecting the ranking of YouTube.com, which is owned by Google and has a ton of DMCA notices filed against it every day,
