You're trying to say that Google should be generous to people using their service to commit criminal offences? You can disagree with the law, but it's pretty clear he's breaking it. https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html > 506.

Yes Google should be generous to people breaking the law. There are many laws and they are complicated and often inscrutable and sometimes unfair. Breaking a law is something everyone does frequently, often without realizing it, so being generous and lenient with law breakers, especially those who have been valuable contributors, seems reasonable. The allegation is that five of his videos had infringing content. Five out of six hundred. Being generous and letting him fix, remove, or contest the allegation prior to deleting the channel strikes me as a much better course than to just tell him "Your channel is being deleted for copyright infringement but we won't tell you where it happened."
