Now if you think that this issue should be easy to resolve you are only half right: While YouTube is pretty fast when it comes to distribute strikes it takes them way longer to remove them.
In the end things worked out well for the YouTuber and the account which reported the fake infringements was deleted – but what if the scammers had reacted faster and had delivered a tighter timeline? One can only hope that YouTube will create a mechanism that protects content creators from cybercriminals like that.
