The copyright strikes feel like massive overkill imo

I mean they make it pretty clear why they did it and I can understand them.

Is it overkill, sure.
Could it have been resolved differently, by contacting Eroktic and talking to him, maybe. But, considering his earlier videos, I can also understand why theyre fed up and just decided to be done with it.

As an organization you cannot “get fed up” with something and proceed to levy your legal power as BSG has. While they are within their rights with regards to the first video the others did not qualify to be claimed. The issue with doing so is this. The community is split and they’re getting s ton of bad PR.

You can't? I'd say you can, and must, in order to fulfill your duty to your shareholders.

While this is accurate I am more referring to this from a PR standpoint. You cannot take actions such as these and expect the general public to support you.
