Please bring attention to this. YouTube's broken copyright system is being used to force others to pay to ensure the safety of their channel, otherwise, they will copystrike it a third time and get it terminated.

**Studio 71 is an MCN, so it is likely that the original creators of the content used (that clearly fell under fair use) asked them specifically to claim these videos for a few extra dollars. This is another example of people exploiting the copyright system. Memeulous's case got to the stage that if he didn't remove it in 7 days he was going to get a strike, as when he appealed they said the claim was still valid. Fainted's situation is currently unclear.**
