I'm not a lawyer, and we weren't monetizing our videos anyway. But it's still such BS. While I know that this claim will be thrown out by Google since it was contested (and apparently the claimant won't get any money from monetization --- although we won't either, since we don't monetize), I'm mostly just annoyed that Google's system is definitely letting tons of people make money from those who don't contest the claims. But I can't change that myself --- I don't work for Google, and even if we were to go to court and win (assuming we had grounds to sue in the first place), no court would require Google to change their system in that way (I suspect).

It might not make financial sense for an individual to sue for any particular infraction, but pooling might result in economics of scale that make it worthwhile to pursue infringers.
