       | > The clickable emblem link was sent to PerfectNazo1@gmail.com
       | and during the chaos of fake notice campaign, a YouTuber called
       | 'Lord Nazo' was hit with fraudulent DMCA notice, sent by the
       | Wiland Google account.
       | 
       | > Apparently angered by this injustice, Lord Nazo fired a DMCA
       | counternotice back at YouTube in which he criticized the wave of
       | fake notices and claimed his video was not infringing since it
       | was a "transformative case of fair use."

         | illegitimate strikes.

         | His bright idea was to get his account unbanned by hoping
         | Bungie would think it was part of the fake notices.

       | I'd really hope this might shed a light on YouTube's ludicrous
       | policies, but no, it will not do anything towards that.

       | Yet another example of justice for me, but not for thee.

       | A smaller content creator might not have even overturned a false
       | DMCA claim, let alone get information about the copyright troll
       | submitting it.

           | legal action within a certain amount of time or YT will
           | reinstate the video.
