Also, I recently learnt that it forces the other channel to provide their personal details directly to the person that raises the claim (the person who raises the claim doesn’t need to provide their details). I watched a video the other week where some streamer started harassing another streamer, filed a copyright claim to get their personal details, and used that to find out where they go to University etc.
It’s a civil offense though, not a criminal* one. I mean sure Nvidia actually has the lawyers to fight this (assuming this just doesn’t get quietly reversed as a “mistake”) but often false strikes may as well be legal when the person targeted doesn’t have the time/money/willingness/etc to fight it in court.
* at least at face-value. I guess other charges could happen based on actions and intent (fraud etc), but I wouldn’t expect that to happen without the civil suit nor would I expect the law to actually have the teeth to actually punish a big company for bullying a nobody.
Since a lot of content creators got a copyright strike from this bad actor I am sure someone will fight this and win easily. Generally speaking it‘s a bad idea to steal someone‘s ad revenue if you‘re from a lawful country like Italy. They win some publicity but lose money from this.
It should be noted that this is illegal. „Abusing Youtube‘s copyright system“ really is just a euphemism for actual theft.
