I have the netflow records to prove this is NOT the case. All
MediaSentry (et.al.) do is scrape the tracker. We have also received a
number of takedown notices that have numbers transposed, involve parts
of our netblock that were not in use at the time in question, etc.
I would think that whole "penalty of perjury" thing would have some
weight behind it.
Stanford (in)famously managed to get DMCA notices for all the printers
on campus, just by faking a client into putting the printer's IP into
the tracker as a seed.
