Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
YouTube Content ID false claim. I've been dealing with this for about 11 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves software/code I developed 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?
I went through almost the exact same thing.
What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
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.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
I went through almost the exact same thing.
I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
Important to note: statutes of limitations vary by state. In California it's generally 4 years for written contracts and 2 years for oral contracts. Don't wait too long to take action or you might be time-barred.
