In theory, what's supposed to happen is that Guy #2 issues a DMCA. The host yanks the material. You send notice to the host that you are disputing the DMCA and copyright ownership, and put the material back up. At that point, Guy #2 has to pursue it in court. We both know that's not how it will happen in reality though.

Really, the DMCA is horribly flawed, and favors the person who makes the claim.
No argument there. Especially if the "person" making the claim is a large company.
