The short answer
ZoopCoder prepares and files one official counter-notification against a Content ID or copyright takedown claim on a single still-live YouTube video for a fixed ₹6,499, in 2-3 working days. YouTube's own copyright help pages are explicit that a counter-notification is a legal document filed under penalty of perjury, stating under your real identity that you have a good-faith belief the claim is mistaken or the use is authorized — after filing, YouTube waits 10-14 business days for the claimant to either withdraw or escalate to a lawsuit before restoring the video, and neither the outcome nor the claimant's next move is ours or YouTube's to control.
What you get
- Review of the actual Content ID claim or copyright takedown notice YouTube sent, including what specifically was flagged
- Honest assessment of whether a counter-notification is genuinely appropriate before we prepare one
- The counter-notification drafted to YouTube's required legal format (your real name and contact details, consent to jurisdiction, good-faith and perjury statements)
- Filed through YouTube's official copyright counter-notification process for one video
- Plain-language explanation of the 10-14 business day waiting period and what happens if the claimant escalates
- Written summary of what was filed, for your records

| Price basis | One claimed video, one counter-notification |
| Timeline | 2-3 working days to file |

| Legal exposure | You are named and contactable by the claimant once filed |
What we need from you
- Access to the YouTube Studio account that owns the video, or the ability to act on our instructions yourself
- The actual claim/takedown notice YouTube sent, in full
- Your real legal name and a contact address — YouTube requires these on the counter-notification itself and shares them with the claimant if it proceeds
- A genuine, good-faith basis for the counter-notification (you own the rights, have a licence, or the use is fair use/fair dealing) — we will not file one without this
Not included
- Any guarantee the claim is withdrawn or the video is restored — that decision sits with the claimant and, if escalated, a court, not with YouTube or us
- Representation in an actual lawsuit if the claimant escalates — a counter-notification legally exposes you to being sued, and you will need a lawyer at that point, not us
- A channel-level Community Guidelines strike or termination appeal — a different process, see our YouTube Channel Suspension & Termination Appeal (₹999)
- More than one claim — each claimed video is filed and billed separately
- Filing on your behalf without a genuine good-faith basis — a knowingly false counter-notification is perjury under the law YouTube's process relies on, and we refuse this before taking payment
About this service
YouTube's Content ID system lets rights holders claim a video automatically on upload, and most claims just mute or monetize the video rather than remove it — a counter-notification is the formal, legal route for the smaller set of claims that actually take a video down or block it entirely, and YouTube's help documentation is direct that it is not a customer-support appeal but a legal notice governed by copyright law, filed under your real name and subject to the possibility that the claimant sues instead of backing down. That is a materially different, higher-stakes process from a policy-strike appeal like our YouTube Channel Suspension & Termination Appeal, which is why the two are separate services at different prices — this one only proceeds once we have confirmed a genuine good-faith basis for the counter-claim.
Questions before you buy
Is this the same as appealing a channel strike?
No — a channel strike or termination appeal is a policy review of your whole channel; a counter-notification is a legal filing about one specific claimed video, with a different process and different stakes. Our YouTube Channel Suspension & Termination Appeal (₹999) covers the former.
What happens after you file it?
YouTube notifies the claimant and waits 10-14 business days. If the claimant does nothing, the video is typically restored. If the claimant escalates with evidence of a lawsuit, the video stays down and the dispute becomes a legal matter between you and them.
Can I get sued for filing this?
Yes, that is the real risk of any counter-notification — you are stating under penalty of perjury that you have the right to use the content, and the claimant can pursue legal action if they disagree. We only file when you have told us a genuine basis, and this is not legal advice.
Do you guarantee the claim gets removed?
No — nobody honestly can. The outcome depends on the claimant's response, not on how the notice is written.
What if I have several videos claimed by different rights holders?
Each claimed video is a separate counter-notification with its own facts, filed and billed individually at the same ₹6,499.
