The youtube terms of service say that filing a false claim isn't protected and you can be sued by the creator. Being demonitized means ads are still shown over your content, but the revenue goes to the party making the fraudulent claim, so probably billions of dollars have been stolen cumulatively. Yet somehow we never hear of people actually suing to recover damages, presumable because of significant expense and legal risk.<p>This is an opportunity for a law firm of the future to automate away as much of the boilerplate as possible, amortize costs, and make it feasible for people to recover their money from these criminals. It might also fix the rampant abuse of contentid systems by big media companies if they are constantly on the hook for expensive legal fees.
