Guys, I have some serious issues with YouTube's copyright policies. I checked my account while I was away from Puerto Rico and learned somebody had flagged a playlist I'd recently created and every single video on it due to copyright infringement. However, I'm not making any profit, legal or otherwise, from this and other uploads, and neither am I plagiarizing or taking credit from another's work: all I'm doing is sharing doujins and video game remixes.
Is there any law in the United States (I am an American citizen, after all) that specifies whether these activities really are copyright infringement or not, and that carefully delineate what are my rights and duties in these matters? If so, how good are my chances of appealing the decisions and getting those strikes revoked? I'm one strike away from losing my account, and I'd prefer that didn't happen. Please share any advice you have: it might be my only chance of beating the system at its own game.
