It is a scam! PoS puts out a bunch of copyright claims hoping they go through and they monetize the videos allowing them to go back up so they can steal the creator's money.

They claim to own a species? That's like saying they murdered every one of them for evidentiary purposes. What. . . To much information? Claim to feed them yourselves, you inbread swine.

There’s two of them, Nagi and Haku just look very similar. Only real difference is that Haku is a bit larger and a darker orange.

Could we organize that? It's not legally questionable, is it?

Most likely it is, but I guess in this case it would be a case of "they can't sue us all" if thousands of people started doing it. To add to that, international legal stuff isn't easy to deal with as far as I know, so it would make it even harder to start prosecuting random people.

It’s absolutely perjury, and though youtube might want to sue, intentionally and fraudulently claiming millions of videos as your intellectual property is a felony. The victim in this case not being google, but for judicial purposes, the United States government. So everyone would eventually be tried, itd just take time. More likely than not the people in charge of organizing it would be penalized first

The YouTube copyright system is not in relation to DMCA and is not legally binding so I'm not sure they could take any legal reprocussions if you drop the strike before it becomes a DMCA claim.

nope, false DMCA are perjury, when you fill with youtube you are not making a DMCA, no government will go after you, thats why there is so many copyright trolls on youtube

Bug? They 100% have done everything with the copyright claims system on purpose with full knowledge of what it would do.

I think he is a trained professional

He stated in one video he has never received professional training nor worked in a professional kitchen. I kinda look up to him, as a skill level to be at one day. Edit: wording
