The week my entire video series got flagged for copyright

Back in 2018, I was making a series on classic video game music. One Tuesday, YouTube flagged all 12 videos at once for a song I had permission to use. I spent three days digging up old emails with the composer to prove it. The whole channel was just stuck. Has anyone else had to fight a false claim that almost shut them down?

Tbh that "stuck" feeling for three days sounds like a nightmare.

Yeah, it really does. What kind of situation makes you feel stuck like that? Like, is it more about not knowing what to do next, or feeling like you can't make a choice?

So what was the actual choice you couldn't make?
