Thank you for your cooperation, it appears the dmca notification was fraudulant, your account has been re-instated.
Youtube dmca.
--------------------------------
This is the message ( not word for word ) i got from youtube.
Backstory.
My youtube account got banned because i recieved dmca complaints from aaliyah's record label.
Actually i had several accounts banned from the same record labels dmca's.
The first time i just made a new account. I filed a counter notification but neither time did it work, so this last time i wrote them a letter and they reinstated my account.
What i found kind of funny was the whole process is obviously flawed. The company making the complaints had ZERO actual complaint , there was no substance, i.e. nothing in the video that could even be partially misconstrued as infringement. Real dmca counter notifications did nothing, it ended up being a carefully laid out email that did the trick. Well isn't that exactly how it worked before dmca ? They obviously used their judgement to see if the video was infringing and thus reinstated the videos and account without waiting the grace period as described in the dmca notification/counter notification process.
Anyways if you have ever had your youtube account pulled from false dmca or invalid reasons, screw the "process" just use the old "explain yourself" approach
