I would try suing for damages, especially if their claims are denying you the ability to make money. I think you might be able to sue for slander as well, since they made the claim that you are stealing licensed material, which will affect your reputation as a producer of original content.


I don't see how one could consider this slander/libel, since the allegation was completely private until publicized by M dot Strange. Obviously reputation would not have suffered if the claim remained private.


Their reputation with YouTube might be damaged. Prior claims against his account might negatively affect him.


Slander? Not a chance. I do not think you understand what the requirements for a slanderclaim are.

Tortious interference with a contract, perhaps. Copyright violations, perhaps. But not slander.
