15 year old tricks YouTube into issuing takedown notices

Chaser's War on Everything
A 15-year-old boy in Australia apparently sent a letter to Google claiming he represented ABC (The Australian Broadcasting Corporation, not the American one). Specifically, he demanded the site remove YouTube videos from the TV show The Chaser's War on Everything.

And Google agreed. Not only did the company remove the videos from YouTube, but it sent copyright infringement letters to the users who had uploaded the clips.

Thing is, actual representatives of ABC say they had no problem with users uploading the videos.
