First of all Thank you for analyzing. This gives fantastic context into the problem he had with his lack of copyright knowledge. The big issue I have here is he was navigating a minefield. He and people like him are the reason YouTube exists. There has to be a better way of what YouTube is doing than just a "if you trip up a minor easily exploitable offense you are gone". His sob story definitely left details out, but this is the way of YouTube. And YouTube gives no real support unless you go viral with your sob story. So in the end... This is just fucking terrible.
