Matt Binder, Mashable; YouTube reversed my bogus copyright strike after I threatened to write this
"“Your case is the most extreme I’ve heard about. Congratulations,”
Electronic Frontier Foundation Manager of Policy and Activism, Katharine
Trendacosta, said to me in a phone conversation on the issue. “This is
the first time I've heard about this happening to something that didn't
contain anything. And I have heard a lot of really intense stories about
what's happening on YouTube.”...
“Your case is a really extreme example of a fairly common situation
in which these major companies send DMCA takedown on a very broad
basis,” she explained. “YouTube is far more afraid of being sued by
Warner Bros. than being sued by you, so you end up with them being much
more cautious and doing things like just allowing DMCA strikes on
anything.”
So, what can be done? Apparently, not much."
