Talk:YouTube copyright strike

We all know that Viacom and Shopro are the most common companies that make copyright claims on videos. But there may be something different. Even if your video wasn't copied or doesn't match another user's video, it can still be taken down by a copyright claim. Once you notice that your video is taken down, and if is wasn't by a legitimate copyright company, it must be a mistake or that there is someone else haunting you or spamming you. For example, this channel falsely made copyright claims on videos affiliated with this channel, and that's considered vandalism, plagiarism, and conspiracy. Once a channel has 3 or more copyright strikes, it cannot upload videos until resolving those copyright strikes by making counter notifications. It usually takes a few days for YouTube to forward the counter notifications to the one who took down the video, and the claimant has 2 weeks to provide proof of court action to assure the video stays down, otherwise the video taken down will be restored. Furthermore, the copyright claiming account can be terminated if abusing the feature of making claims and if not providing proof of court action on multiple counts to reject counter notifications. 50.29.199.144 (talk) 02:57, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's YouTube's flawed copyright system, where even if you file a copyright claim for something that you do not own, you can still get the video taken down. YouTube user John Scarce (youtube.com/GoScarce) has reported of other users making false copyright claims impersonating companies. There are also cases where gaming companies such as Ubisoft and Nintendo have been impersonated to take down other users' videos and get their channels terminated. I think since you (VideoGamePhenom) are partnered with Curse, you don't get terminated after the 3 strikes, but normally after 3 strikes, your channel gets taken down. On CG strikes (Community Guidelines), which details policies such as porn and nudity, and spamming and scamming, if you get 2 strikes, you get your privilege to upload videos revoked for as little as two weeks up to a month or so.
