I think Thunderf00t got to VenomFangX with the threat of criminal prosecution. Something moved VenomFangX to apologize because he doesn't seem like the type to admit he's wrong, as evidenced by his logic impaired videos. I'd recommend contacting Thunderf00t through YT to start a brain-picking session.
I also did a search for videos complaining of YT's behavior toward false DCMA claims and found quite a few videos. I don't know if they lead anywhere since I don't have time to view them, but it's nice that you have allies.
My biggest beef is with YT for being so spineless about false flagging and false DCMA filings. As it happens, one of my roomies works for YT. I brought this up to him and he said that YT's #1 priority is to avoid copyright infringement suits. This explains why they jump to take down the victims rather than the perpetrators. This is wrong way around. Those who file false DCMA claims need to be taken down.
I think they give out personal info so that they can get out of the situation and say "shit, don't sue us or even subpoena us, sue this guy".DeathofSpeech said:Pennies for Thoughts said:I'm no lawyer either, but the comments you posted make sense from the civil law point of view.

Good deal...
I've been reading, among other things the text of the DMCA.
You might bring this to your roommate's attention
The DMCA requires a subpoena filed in a US federal court, meeting specifically defined standards before personal information can be released.
YouTube is breaking the law by allowing personal info to be handed out for the asking.
The subpoena must show cause and must identify the claimant. Legal identification not assertion.
How difficult is it really for YT to require that the claim be filed by electronic notary?
I use one frequently. It isn't as though they're hard to find. Mine comes to my door for $25.
Do they just not understand that left as-is one 13 year old script kiddie could face their entire site... destroy their credibility with their advertisers... and irreparably damage their viability?

Well, if some script kiddies *do* DMCA the entire site, maybe they'll change their mind...
