your talking about making the host liable for other peoples posting
that the mistake your talking about.
DMCA allows a censoring of content based on a simple form letter
no court order /no proof of infringement/ no weighing if the action is fair use
content is down
it may come back up if the person want to dispute it (and accept the huge legal penalty if they are wrong)

but
If a copyright holder makes ONE mistake - they lose everything??
how about we make this at least a little bit equal?

because it a choice
they could simply use the old takedown process and avoid the liablity
it simple use the new uber takedown process for the shit you are 100% certain is infringing
use the less effective slower process for the shit your not 100% certain.
