Shit gets taken down on YouTube all the time. Did the investigators try filing a copyright claim or using a shady lawyer to threaten legal action? How about reaching out to one of the many for-profit organizations with an inside track on YouTube claims processing to expedite the shut down?
I guess, the real question I’m asking is… how much money did they spend issuing these notices? Because I guarantee a better-financed operation could have gotten it done.

There’s no federal law about disinformation that puts platforms at any kind of financial risk.
And you have it exactly backwards. DMCA takedowns are trivially easy to make and expensive to reverse.

So lie. Call in a copyright claim. It will just work.
You may have to pay a large copyright holder to send in the requests for you. But if you payed Sony or Paramount enough money, I bet they’d call in those requests.
