Start with YouTube. They are the largest copyright infringement outfit out there. 3rd party content that is copyrighted is on 87 percent of the site. Google hides behind their ,”self policing” policy that actually supports the accuser before they even check to see if it is a valid claim. They take down first, then force you to put your name and address out there for the troll to see to get your vid back up. if anything site needs to be shut down, it’s them.
