There's also the problem of people abusing the DMCA process if google makes it a factor in rankings. The sheer amount of DMCA's being sent out every day is impossible for them to verify if the claims are legit or not.
I've had a program DMCA google only my sites for using his promo content to promote his site with no warning or message from him to me personally. If that had any impact on my site, I'd be pissed.
