Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

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

This involves software/code I developed over the past 23 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Not gonna lie, this happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Ok so i work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation which is wild, companies usually settle.
