Content Scraping / Data Copying — YouTube Content ID false claim

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

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 31 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

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

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.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. 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.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.
