Just from the screenshot in the article, it looks like at least 14 of the 23 links shown are completely legitimate (the HitFix.com, ihav.net, IGN.com, and HBO.com ones).

Since I read one of those sites (HitFix.com, a news/reviews site), I'm actually now curious how many of its articles have been spuriously removed from Google's index thanks to incorrect takedown requests like this one.

Google posts all their takedowns to ChillingEffects (http://www.chillingeffects.org/)

From their search HitFix seems to be hit a few times - http://www.google.com/custom?q=HitFix.com&sa=Search&... - not too much though.

Studios are going to continue mass automated takedowns of legitimate content until there's some kind of punitive measure put in place for blatantly incorrect notices.
