Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
YouTube Content ID false claim. I've been dealing with this for about 10 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves software/code I developed over the past 32 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
What's the typical outcome in situations like this?
I've dealt with this before.
In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.
This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the DMCA safe harbor provisions, compliant with notice requirements.
The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.
