When we receive a sufficiently detailed copyright complaint, we may review the identified material and take reasonable action where appropriate.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include investigating the report, restricting access to material under our control, removing material that we control, or requesting additional information from the person submitting the notice.
We cannot guarantee removal of content that is hosted or controlled entirely by an independent third-party platform.
6. Counter-Notification
If material under our control has been removed or restricted following a copyright complaint and you believe that action occurred because of mistake or misidentification, you may contact us with a counter-notification where applicable.
A counter-notification should identify the affected material, explain why you believe the removal or restriction was incorrect, provide your contact details, and include any statements or signature required under applicable law.
Copyright and counter-notification procedures can involve legal rights and obligations. Consider obtaining professional legal advice if you are uncertain about submitting a notice or counter-notice.

YouTube, Google and related trademarks belong to their respective owners. References to these services are used only to describe the compatibility and purpose of this independent thumbnail utility.
9. Third-Party Platforms
If the material you are concerned about is hosted directly by YouTube, Google or another third-party service, you may also need to contact that platform through its own copyright-reporting process.
