Imagine that your house was broken into so you contact your insurance company for coverage, and they tell you “No worries, just ask the burglar for the money back”

Imagine waiting a whole month for your salary, then your boss decides to give your share to a random person. You try to defend yourself, but instead the man in charge threatens you that you'll get a salary fine if you keep complaining, as he is not able to solve your problem...

"YouTube does not meditate copyright disputes", except that's exactly how this problem started in the first place.

The policy needs to also include that when a copyright claim is filed, all monetization goes into escrow awaiting resolution of any disputes.

Im seriously disappointed in Youtube for this mess. Imagine relying on a source like this to maintain the credibility of your work. Even with evidence and everything to back him up, Youtube still didn't act rationally. What does it take for this kind of occurrence to stop happening? I read the comments and seen people's channels be unfairly striked and taken down. All the content and work erased into nothing. These are horrendous stories and Youtube really needs to stop breaking the hearts and lives of their community.
