Presumably they will mostly only get demoted if they host a large amount of content that is subject to DMCA notices.


I don't see how you can be confident of this: Look at how youtube handles allegations of copyright infringement.

There's also a problem with flow of information; if your provider takes down something under the DMCA, they inform you, so you know about the (possibly frivolous) claim.

I don't see how Google could make any reasonable guarantee to be able to inform the affected parties -- neither the author/user that publish, nor necessarily the various admins and providers that would be affected (Think shared hosting, shared domain, community message board...).
