They demonetized SpaceX Pink, too, a daily news feed of spaceflight news. Over and over again. She finally had to take all her vids down, or they would have pocketed it all, indefinitely.
It's not ended though, yes it was a bogus claim, YT realised this and it will be re-enabled within 48 hours.
The titles makes it seem them streamer is gone/ended permenantly.
YouTubes DMCA policy is well documented with abuse and general nonsense sometimes, but credit is due here when they do the right thing and figure it out. Problem is that not everyone is as large as Lo-Fi to send out a reachable tweet.
Is the broadcast Streamed live on Feb 22, 2020 still running or not? It is not. When re-enabled a new broadcast will begin.

No it makes it seem that the continuous running broadcast was ended. It doesnt suggest the account was banned permanently - "YouTube Bans Lofi Girl" would be misleading if not a straight up lie.

This comment is misleading. sometimes???

Designing a system whereby the known copyright owner can be claimed against and the claim acted upon with zero review or thought seems like they are not doing the right thing at all. making an exception for a high profile channel is not an example of "figuring it out", its slapping a bandaid on a shotgun wound.

Okay, your point is taken, I just read it initially as a ban, my mistake.
> Designing a system whereby the known copyright owner can be claimed against and the claim acted upon with zero review
Playing devils advocate here again but there is an unhuman amount of video content being uploaded daily and I have no insight into the quantity of claims made, but its safe to assume it's high given there is an automated processes for making claims, it seems reasonable to me that there is an automated process for 'reviewing' also..
It's not ideal but I'm sure they're struggling to find a solution too and not just being `nasty`.
If a video with 668,024,599 views that someone claims to own copyright to, along with all the revenue for doesnt trigger a human review, then nothing will. They arent even trying at that point.
I expect that when the algo struck the content that revenue was moved from the account of Lofi Girl to the fradulant claimant.
