YouTube DMCA

To submit a DMCA notice to YouTube, follow these steps:

Identify the content that you want to report as a copyright violation.
Click on the three-dot menu icon located next to the video that contains the infringing content.
Select "Report" and then click on "Copyright claim."
Follow the on-screen instructions and fill out the form with the necessary information, including your contact info, the infringing content's URL, and your proof of ownership of the copyrighted material.
Include a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
Submit the form, and YouTube will review your request and take appropriate action.

You can also use YouTube's Copyright Webform to submit your DMCA notice. To use this method:

Navigate to YouTube's Copyright Webform.
Fill out the form with the necessary information, including your contact information, the infringing content's URL or search term, and your proof of ownership of the copyrighted material.
Include a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
Submit the form, and YouTube will review your request and take appropriate action.

It's important to note that filing a false DMCA notice can have serious legal consequences, so be sure that you have a legitimate claim to the content before submitting a request.
