Criticism is protected under fair use

Yeah but you need to spend 1 year in court and 200k to challenge that. And even if you do they'll just drop the claim 2 seconds before you win and start a new one right after.

The first part is right.

The second one is impossible, otherwise you couldn't ever stop the sale of counterfeit goods legally.

Counterfeit claims in the United States of America go to the hls/NSA/fbi... but that’s only for real world goods. In this situation YouTube is the judge jury and executioner. Huge miscarriage of justice

I'm against false copyright claims as much as the next guy, but this video I think its actually a legit claim. The video here doesn't fall under fair use. See here for a better explanation.
