Your counter-notification letter

What happens after you submit

Paste this letter into YouTube Studio's copyright counter-notification form (or send it to the platform's designated agent).
The platform forwards your counter-notice to the claimant.
The claimant has 10–14 business days to file a court action; if they don't, the platform may restore your content.

Not legal advice. This tool assembles the elements required by 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3) into a template letter. It is not a law firm and does not evaluate whether your content is actually non-infringing. Filing a false counter-notice can expose you to liability — consider consulting an attorney for high-stakes disputes. Nothing you type here is stored or sent anywhere.
