I think it makes more sense to disqualify abusers from the entire takedown system. The DMCA takedown process takes a guilty-until-proven-otherwise approach, and companies like Markscan from the article can clearly not be trusted with that power. After maybe 3 false takedowns the receiver should be allowed to assume anything they send is bullshit.
There should also be consequences for copyright owners choosing to be represented by a large number of such abusers, but that's a lot more complicated and would require more due process.
