copyright strikes
Infringement enforcement actions
Copyright strikes are formal complaints issued when a copyright holder reports unauthorized use of their content on a platform like YouTube or Twitch.
Accumulating strikes typically results in escalating penalties—video removal, channel restrictions, or permanent account termination.
The system is often criticized for enabling abuse, as false or frivolous claims can harm creators without recourse: She lost her channel after three copyright strikes from a troll.
