2019 March - Received a copyright takedown request by an individual. What should I do?

I uploaded a YTP of a meme-able Q&A session that a company had. A person in the video issued a copyright takedown request and has mentioned pursuing legal action on their social media against "online harassers" (such as youtube channels). The company that owns the original video did not copyright strike the video.

I sympathize with the person for being a meme and all but I would like to have the strike removed from my channel. I'm scared because I do not want a legal situation on my hands. I thought the video was just a funny meme but now I'm not sure. This reminds me of Matt Hoss vs H3H3. I feel very scared. This is the first time I've ever had a strike on my channel.

2019 March - People Are Getting Swatted For Speaking Out Against The Rewired Soul

**This is not a one of, therefore this is not a solo link to explain this.**
Recently a YouTuber by the name of The Rewired Soul has been coping criticism left right and centre for actions including **misdiagnosing people** and **telling others who have a condition that they should speak about it and raise awareness when they have stated that they are not comfortable doing so**. Whether or not this is justified is up to personal opinion, and not something I am willing to discuss here.


As The Rewired Soul is a channel based around mental health, to put these people in this position or indirectly put people in this position seems to go against the basis of the channel itself and regardless of that it **NEEDS TO STOP**.


**Multiple YouTuber's have spoken about his harmful actions towards people. Multiple people have been swatted while streaming (or shortly after) talking about The Rewired Soul, and one was called for a wellness check. There are videos with accounts of events below. As one of the videos point out and I am sure it is the case for many people who are covering the subject, their own personal mental health issues mean that the swatting has a very negative effect on their mental health. So much so that one YouTuber is quitting the platform and another has quit Twitter over drama surrounding The Rewired Soul, after another YouTuber (Repzilla) interviewed her about his (Rewired Soul's) misdiagnosis of her, this lead to sensitive, off the record information about her being released by Repzilla during an interview conducted over Twitter messages.**


Two of the three YouTubers of whom have been swatted/had police called have/had made video talking about the leaking of the sensitive information, so it was unknown of whom they were conducted by or on behalf of, but one of the people swatted had not covered this sensitive information leak but had covered issues surrounding The Rewired Soul.


**It is unknown how the addresses were found but one account implies hacking of an internet device whilst streaming. Also note: All the cases of swatting mentioned have occurred in the US.**


**Videos:**

[I Give Up You WIN!](https://youtu.be/e4L7ojsjRO4)
[The cops just showed up at my house because of The Rewired Soul](https://youtu.be/6c-o0e_45Mo) (**In this video it is stated it was for a wellness check because The Rewired Soul had said that she needed a wellness check)**
