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

YouTube Content ID false claim. I've been dealing with this for about 12 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 22 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Unpopular opinion: sometimes it's not worth litigating, even if you're in the right. If the disputed amount is $500 and attorney fees would be $3,000, consider whether the principle is worth the cost. Write-off the loss and learn from it.

For anyone in California: look into the Private Attorney General Act (PAGA). It allows employees to file lawsuits on behalf of the state for Labor Code violations. The penalties can be substantial and it's a powerful tool that's unique to California.
