He isn't anything BUT biased, he is a reliable source though he does meme a bit but his videos are for entertainment after all. The copyright counter notification system is exactly the same since then so I don't know where you found it has changed. I'm not referencing the "rant" but more of the information that he provides. Also, there is more someone could do with information than SWAT and dox, I was talking in a legal sense.
In addition, YOU ARE filing the counter notification just with the details of the person for the claimer to contact in regarding the copyright claim. Everything else apart from the information is written by YOU the channel owner (e.g. reasons why copyright claim is incorrect). In fact, if you give the information of the network, they also must have permission from the channel owner to deal with it (e.g. the partnership) so permission is both ways just to clarify some more.
If a network refuses to deal with a copyright claim (via the method of dealing with the counter notification) and the copyright claim is ingenuine then that channel isn't part of a network, just an affiliate with said network that doesn't protect its affiliates.
Wow I forgot about that. What you are saying is very true. I've heard this from H3H3 before
I contacted support yesterday they said they couldn't do anything because FOM refused. In other words Freedom don't want to waste time protecting there partners from companies that are bigger than them.
Here is what they said :

Hello Michael,
Thank you for contacting Freedom! support. I'm sorry to know that you still have issues with your channel. I looked into your last ticket (172060) and sadly nothing has changed as you chose to leave the network. Discussions with Formula One Management didn't produce positive results I'm afraid, we apologize for the inconvenience this issue as caused to you and your channel. We licensed footage from Reuters, but still Formula One Management didn't accept the agreement we had as it goes against their very strict policy regarding usage of their content. We since then made improvements in the videos available in the dashboard, removing those that didn't comply with Formula One Management policies, and reviewed any other videos that could, potentially, cause problems. It's also important to understand that although we provide the footage, from our licensing deal with Reuters, the footage has to be used according to the Fair Use policy, just as any third party content, which if I understand correctly from what you said before, you were following. However, original copyright owners may still claim the content, which can be followed by a dispute from the content creator. Unfortunately, if not accepted, as Freedom! and YouTube do not provide legal advice, the parties can choose to solve the issue in a court of law, by opposing the copyright holder to the content creator.
We would gladly try to help, as that is what we did before and always do, but we are unable to because you left the network at that critical time when we were going through such a complex process involving legal rights. We are unable to get your monetization back, contact YouTube on your behalf, or provide you with a partnership, because of the monetization issue, and also because of other problematic content we found on your channel, that we also mentioned in that same ticket. As you said, you have worked hard on your channel to get where you are, so I hope you don't give up and continue working on it, even while monetization is disabled
This part is obviously a lie, I waited four months. and nothing happened : "but we are unable to because you left the network at that critical time when we were going through such a complex process involving legal rights."
