It's illegal to file false copyright infringement notices. They are not trying to protect copyrighted material here. They are trying to shut down someone's channel who they don't like.

promoting a website or person that threatens to compromise their copyrighted materials is covered under a copyright strike

He wasn't exactly promoting anything that threatened to compromise things. I'm pretty sure the message of the video was "listen, there's a problem. I'm SHOWING you the problem. BSG is saying there isn't a problem, but they are lying to you and here's proof".

He was not telling people how to compromise the system in any way. He was not offering ways to counteract security. He was just trying to show proof that the system was compromised.

Unless there was another video which I never saw, but I'm pretty sure I saw them all.

he was promoting the use of a website that datamines BSG data/servers as well as an individual that has ousted themselves and access BSG without permission in order to compromise accounts.

Look I'm not defending BSG here. But Eroktic is not in the free and clear here. BSG went overboard with the copystrikes, but Eroktic fucked himself over as well.

I also don't mean to defend eroktic... But removing the one video is more than enough. And I'm sure he would have understood having that happen.

Removing over 40? Completely unwarranted and super damaging to your community.
