Only one part of a DMCA takedown is under penalty of perjury, and it's quite possible to file a knowingly false takedown request without that part being falsified.



But isn't it the part where you assert in good faith you own the copyright? How do you get around that scenario of a malicious takedown request against a random site?


It's the part where you asset that you are the owner of the copyright you alleged is being violated. As long as you own copyright on something that's not a problem. The part where you actually allege that particular content uses your work without permission or privilege is not under penalty of perjury.
