"At this point, every reader here should be aware that YouTube has a
copyright/DMCA problem it has yet to solve. Going through the myriad of posts
we’ve done about DMCA and ContentID takedowns on YouTube, the theme is
abundantly clear: YouTube’s automated systems are wide open for mistakes,
fraud, and abuse. If you don’t think that’s the case, you aren’t paying
attention. This is especially illuminated when either very obviously
non-infringing clips get taken down via DMCA notice, or when super famous clips
that have been around forever are suddenly hit with a DMCA notice and get taken
down.
Take the following video clip of a CounterStrike game, for instance. This clip
has floated around the internet for nearly 15 years, featuring a guy doing a
Snoop Dogg impression and then getting stuck in a door and ultimately killed
in-game, to the delight of the person who captured the video.
Well, after existing peacefully for those fifteen years, the clip was suddenly
the subject of a DMCA takedown, as explained by PC Gamer."
