[SOLVED] Ericsson slammed me with a Copyright Strike on a Teardown video, help!?

Big deal ! Just remove the video and go on with your life. What is so special in it that may worth a fight.
magic:
The whole YouTube thing says "copyright" multiple times, so I suppose they had to declare that your video infringes on their copyright specifically and when pressed for details, they will try to claim some BS about reproducing images of the PCB or whatever.

No harm trying and posting the answer to the Internet for all the armchair lawyers to get outraged about. No idea what they would do if you file a counter notice, find a lawyer familiar with all that American BS ::)

I suppose you could also ask YouTube to consider if this notice is even formally valid without any kind of specific claim of what's wrong with your video, though I'm not sure if DMCA cares about such things.

They must have shares in a screw company !

I am surprised at youtube and the copyright stance as there is loads of copyrighted stuff on youtube.

I can see both sides.
1/ Want to breakdown a system to see how it works.
2/ As a software/hardware designer myself  I wouldnt want my software/hardware explained to anyone else so they could copy it.

It is removed, as well as other Ericsson videos. I did not want to risk channel closure just for that, there is nothing special about those videos. It is their wild, vague and broad claim that made me ask.

There is no way to contact youtube, other than filing counter claim, which opens the whole legal, court, lawyers and fee package that they threaten with.

This was a manual takedown, not a AI/bot discovery, so Ericssons legal department is trawling the web for manuals, videos and everything else about their system and try to force it away. This has been seen many times before if anyone knows the website "franks hospital service" that had manuals for many different medical instruments and machines.

2) It is all discarded legacy 3G equipment, noone in their right mind would copy it and not at all from watching videos of a RF amateur looking at it. These are widely for sale on ebay if someone wanted one to look at. I never revealed any code, despite having partial software/firmware in my hands, as I know that is copyrighted material.

it pretty much means the exact opposite, a patent is a time limited monopoly in exchange for disclosing 
an idea and everything about how it works
