The point I am trying to make is that we ( or my DMCA agent) did NOT receive a SINGLE counterclaim ! Why not ??? Since most here " cry" how unfair DMCA services are... Somebody should educate me.

Because you are in a completely different business altogether. You make movies for one, and two, they are tasteful and there is no chance of anyone else being able to claim ownership over them. Any type of misuse of your copyrighted content will be infringing, and no websites are likely to have mentions of them, at least not legally. So, most, if not all of your takedown notices will be legitimate.
People complaining in this thread are complaining about illegal organizations sending fraudulent DMCA notices where there is no infringing content, period.
SImply put; they are removing pages from SERP's based on a random keyword alone, and not much else. For example, there might be a cam girl named "Pornhub" (there actually was one, on MFC) and these organizations will DMCA any mention of the said keyword from a site, whether it's a legal page or not. They are not checked by a human... this is what everyone is complaining about. No one is defending thievery.
