YouTube messed up again: Help Magpiepony! · 6:05pm May 27th, 2016
Please take a look at this:
If some of you have experience with YouTube and this kind of situation, please help her, because I have no idea what to do in this case but I am very enraged by this situation. "Where's the Fair Use" controversy is bad enough, but THIS SHIT?! 
And that's why I am really hesitant to start a YouTube channel of my own. I don't have anything worthy of posting there at the moment, but I used to dream of possibly doing something of my own (I am interested in Source Filmmaker animations) and sharing it. But the current system looks very stupid to me. I want to create, not to battle goddamn copyright trolls or feel defenseless because I do not know the intricacies of US copyright law!
OK, sorry I vented my frustrations. Help Magpiepony!
EDIT (May 27th, 2016, 22:19 Moscow Standard Time plus one hour): used my existing YouTube account to report the offending video. If you have a Google account, do the same thing.
UPDATE of May 30th: According to Magpiepony, the video and the channel that started the whole trouble is down. She wrote:
The channel that issued the strike has been taken down by YouTube! I also received an automated message from YouTube (not a person though, still just a bot) saying that they have until June 16th to provide evidence of court action to prevent the reinstatement of my video. Since they have no evidence, I assume that is the date my strike will be removed and my channel back to normal :)
Fingers crossed!
I would if I could watch it.

YouTube is blocked at your home?
3978416 Yes, but I can get around it pretty easily. I just didn't have my earbuds.
In any case, I'm wondering why this user put so much effort into something so malicious.

That's copyright trolls for you.
Truth be told, I'm not a fan of current copyright system. Vote Pirate Party, yo.
3979403 Or just make a new YouTube without the copyright BS.

Before that, you'd have to abolish DMCA. Copyright institute is waaaaaaay too entrenched right now, and you can bet that MPAA, RIAA and the likes will eviscerate anyone who tries to pull that off.
Hell, most of the countries have signed the Berne convention that states that copyrighted works shall be protected for at least 50 years after an author's death, and no less. Good luck trying to demolish that.
