NASCAR admits it violated YouTube rules and the DMCA

Executive summary: NASCAR admits it violated YouTube rules and the
DMCA by attempting to block a video over which it had no copyright
standing.  Question: Why doesn't the law include a penalty for this
sort of flagrant abuse?  YouTube's guidelines for use of DMCA-based
blocking are exceptionally clear.
