They put a strike on you because they had the film themselves and were claiming copyright?

Were you putting up those films just as a public good service or was it for something else?

I was putting them up in good faith as a public service.

Yes, they did. But when I pointed out that they didn't in fact own the copyright they highlighted this detail about the youtube terms if service, so I still had to take the video down, not because it violated copyright, but because it violated the YouTube terms of service.

Youtube enforces its own terms of service, not them. They just bullied you into removing the content so they can keep their ad revenue from the views without having to compete with you.

Which part of the Youtube terms of service did it violate?
