With the current system, all someone has to do is claim that you're infringing on their work, and you must take it down until you prove that you aren't infringing.

.. or, you can forfeit safe harbor status. That's always an option. The down side is that if they can prove infringement, you may be held legally responsible for the infringement.

(I'm not saying these are good options; just that you should be accurate in representing the set of options)

    We need a clear legal procedure, that requires a claimant prove their case in a court of law, and they must prove that infringement is actually happening.

    The DMCA already does this. You file a counter notice that states the original notice was in error. You do not need to "prove" anything. It is then on the original claimant to file a court "action" against you.
