The friendly friends of TEAM YT: https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1307821970399080454

As mentioned before, you'll need to resolve the strikes so your channel won't be terminated: https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1306733040211824645

Also, YouTube is in no position to mediate on dispute or provide legal advice, and it's best to consult with a counsel for your options.

YouTube is 100% in a position to mediate, but you don't.

Why not have a human being decide if my channel is worthy of being deleted? Just keep pretending you didnt create this system...

Just hang your creators out to dry time and time again, oh unless your name is @markiplier

"3 strikes and you're out" is definitely NOT the law.

You're part right though: content hosts need to have and obey a termination policy to stay in their "safe harbor".

They also have to obey the counter-notification process in 17 U.S.C. 512(g).

You could at least follow the Counter-notification process in 17 U.S.C. 512(g). Why not follow the law?

Like I noticed the other day, if you go to a Civilization (the song) video that has been claimed it shows 24 fucking companies have "licensed" the song to youtube, that means all of them are milking ad moneys out of it.

Keeping in mind the song was released in 1948.

And everyone involved, from performers to compositors have long passed away.

Now I don't think it's right for randoms to be making ad money from old songs on youtube, and I include all those 24 scam companies as "random" too since I highly doubt any of that money is going to the artists, because they're all dead.

Doesn't matter. Under the copyright laws New York is forcing everyone to follow, copyright term is like last creator's death + 75 years.

Yeah but only untill its 74 years since Walt Disney is dead, then the politicians will receive an "incentive" by disney to extend it to 100.
