What is to keep somebody who doesn't like what one has to say in a video from knowingly making a meritless copyright complaint just to get it taken down... What keeps some troll from doing the same, just for the lulz?

Nothing keeps anyone from doing that. It happens A LOT. I'm surprised this is still news to anyone—we've been discussing it on the forums for five years.
