I think that's too small. I'd rather see something like

DEPOSIT = MIN(MAX($20, 0.1 * RevenueLossDuringTakedownProcess), $100)

A small content provider a) is able to never make a bogus claim since he will not do it automatically and b) should be able to bet $100 on it.

Except, it's not going to be $100, it's going to be $2000, because the hosting provider has an incentive to report as high a RevenueLossDuringTakedownProcess as they can get away with. A lot of small artists are not going to be able to lock up $2000 at several sites.
