No, they are compiling with DMCA such that they are not held responsible. All DMCA is designed to do is protect hosts from being liable for people who use their platform for copyright infringement. If Youtube rejects the claim they become liable.
Oh, im sorry if I misled you. Youtube can in fact do whatever they like they will just be liable for any damages in the case they lose.
