Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

YouTube Content ID false claim. I've been dealing with this for about 14 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 10 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the Lanham Act. Your state may provide additional protections.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
