"Hey @DCT\_MGT, I recently received a copyright strike from you guys for my "Top 5 BEST Green Hill Zone Music Tracks" and was given the email rentalkats@gmail.com to contact you, but I can't find that email anywhere on your site. Is this you?"

“UPDATE: Turns out someone is posing as DCT Entertainment and claiming a whole bunch of YouTube videos containing Green Hill Zone music. Is there anything you can do about this @RubyEclipse?”

“Turns out a company from Ethiopia called DCT Entertainment Inc. filed a copyright takedown notice on a really old video of Sonic the Hedgehog that I did years ago. Why they did this? I don't know but I am getting in touch with my network to get this rescinded.”

“I actually tried to reach them and they said that in order to use the copyright, you have to pay for it. I call it blackmail and YouTube allows this.”

“@TeamYouTube Two videos on my channel have been falsely claimed. Might you be able to look into these false manual copyright claims?”

If there are any YouTube creators reading this right now, I strongly advise you back up your videos as soon as you possibly can in case something like this happens to you.

2019 - August: JG Science was demonetised for months and wasn't notified why until recently. He was demonetised for repetitive content, but he had nothing repetitive, and called out other channels that repeated content that got away with it.

2019 October - Youtube falsely flagging channels based on an automatically-added restream.io branding link in the denoscription

* Restream.io automatically adds their branding in the denoscription (unless you upgrade to a paid package that costs $41 a month.)
* Youtube started falsely flagging videos today because of that link, and it is resulting in strikes for some people, even though it is out of their control.
* Restream support (on twitter) has said if it does result in a strike, you can appeal it and it should get removed for not violating any community guidelines.
