I have the netflow records to prove this is NOT the case. All MediaSentry (et.al.) do is scrape the tracker. We have also received a number of takedown notices that have numbers transposed, involve parts of our netblock that were not in use at the time in question, etc. I would think that whole "penalty of perjury" thing would have some weight behind it. Stanford (in)famously managed to get DMCA notices for all the printers on campus, just by faking a client into putting the printer's IP into the tracker as a seed.
