When Monitori’s YouTube channel suddenly disappeared, the outlet received an emailed explanation. It’s especially hard to fight since the burden of proof is on the victims to challenge accusations of copyright infringement. In notification emails sent to Monitori, YouTube stated that the complaints originated from three accounts, including one named Ripu Singh. In chats with the reporters, Singh revealed more details about how the opaque industry of paid copyright claim abusers works. Just days after YouTube removed the channel, Facebook took down Monitori’s page following a bogus copyright claim.
