So A few weeks ago A channel called I hate everything was DELETED because one video was claimed by someone else even though this video fell under the faire use agreement. Now his channel is back now but youtube never answered what was going on. Now things are even worse Channel awesome the home of the nostalgia critic, has lost all monotization rights and can't post vids longer then 15 minutes due to a strike. When thye tried to make a counter claim, due to this video AGAIN belonging to the fair use agreement. They got an error and after ppokking youtube multiple times they got an aswer saying that hey know the counter claim system is broken and send some other way they can do it. They follow this to a teeth but get A msg back saying information is missing. So 2 of the channel managers go seperatly on the channel see that in the couter claim system are 2 different forms and not only that you can only use 250 words to defend yourself in this legal case. Which is way too little. Now these are only 2 examples of what is going on, there are dozens more and youtube is refusing to react to people who ask what is going on. So 2 things I have too say for freedom and its partners is,1 Freedom will you help/ protect us aginst this nonsense if we are in the right/ contact youtube and try to find out what the hell is going on and, 2, my fellow content creators I reccomend you make a back up of your channel for all your vids including your channel can be deleted without any reason.
I hope this get's solved soon.

This is insane!

Well if it may happen to my channel then A i would be mad and B probably would say, this is the end for me. To think that you have to start over due to a false delete if your channel? Nah, i'd skip that, reason is who says it won't happen again...
this can happen to us aswell, best example of this was when pixels the movie of Adam sandler was announced. HE claimed al youtube video's with pixels in the title it didn't matter if it was gaming, vlogging, blogging or whatever it was he claimed it and with this going on, dozens of channels can be shutdown by a greedy hollywood director that wants to have higher search results.

Seems to be happening to rather large and well established channels as well sadly.

Doug Walker here goes into detail, even showing the forms they had to deal with, and it's still not resolved. YouTube hasn't even made any strides to help at all.
