17 USC 512c3(vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Granted, if an attacker can trigger a password reset and also have persistant access to an inbox, there's still an issue there, but it's at least less bad.
Structuring the documentation as part-and-parcel of the code helps give the documentation a fighting chance of staying up-to-date over time given without requiring all developers on the team from being religious about updating docs (which I find I need to enforce at the PR stage for those repos with external readme files).
The RIAA is claiming that YouTube does have DRM on their videos, which if the court agrees, may be the end of youtube support in youtube-dl.
As such, I assume the RIAA will try to argue that it doesn't fall into the same bucket that youtube-dl does, since the method of accessing the site is different (scraping the site, vs a sanctioned API)
That's primarily what's got the RIAA's panties in a twist, is that youtube-dl is 'bypassing' youtube's protection measures to prevent their site from being effectively scraped.
