Copyright Counter Notification

"I need to draft a Copyright Counter Notification to dispute the removal of my educational YouTube videos about physics, which were wrongly flagged for copyright infringement on March 15, 2025, as I have full rights to use all content in these videos."

Document background
A Copyright Counter Notification becomes necessary when content has been removed from a platform or website following a copyright complaint, but the content owner believes the removal was mistaken or unjustified. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, serves as a formal response to copyright takedown notices and includes essential elements such as identification of removed content, good faith statements, and jurisdictional consent. The Counter Notification must comply with UK copyright legislation and provides a legal mechanism for content restoration while protecting the rights of all parties involved.

2. Material Identification: Clear identification of the specific material that was removed or disabled, including the location where it appeared

3. Statement of Good Faith: Formal declaration that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification

4. Jurisdiction Statement: Express consent to jurisdiction of the appropriate court in England and Wales for resolution of disputes

5. Declaration of Truth: Statement made under penalty of perjury that the information in the notification is accurate

Optional Sections

1. Additional Evidence Statement: Optional section for describing any supporting documentation that proves ownership or right to use the material

2. Prior Communications: Optional section referencing any previous correspondence regarding the disputed content

3. Legal Representation: Optional section including details of legal representative if the counter notification is submitted through a solicitor

Suggested Schedules
