I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

YouTube Content ID false claim. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves content I created over the past 30 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

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

This happened to my coworker too.

Most folks screw this up by is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

My buddy went through something identical.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

If someone is using your copyrighted work without permission, a cease-and-desist letter is usually the first step. About 70% of the time, the infringer will take it down without needing to file suit.
