If you send a counter-notice to a Youtube copyright strike, you're required to provide your full name and physical address. Most providers do the same with reg'lar old DMCA takedown notices and counter-notices. The complainant's address is often removed from the claim notice (or is a PO Box), but the defendant is required to give their physical address. I assume the intent is so that it's possible to serve notice if the counter-claim turns out to be false. I've heard of stalkers using copyright claims to try to get the address of their targets. I've never seen any physical evidence of it happening, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
