They sent me a form to say which film/game I got the images from.. and left a space for the written permission from the third party creator.. The form actually said that.. "third party creator"
That was in the second form they sent me.. The first one I explained that I made the images myself, but it wasn't enough..
It's all sorted now.. they just quietly removed the warnings from my youtube page.. there were icons around the video with "!" < on them.. one was in a triangle.. the other was red on a white background and all bold and highlighted..
And they turned the monetization on.. after three days of threatening to close my channel down for stealing images

Ownership on the net is such a can of worms. I see much stuff "stolen" on Youtube that puzzles me why on Earth are they concerned with you.
Maybe they thought I would be an easy target.. Not uploaded anything for a while.. not all that well known.. No one on Youtube would be rushing to my defence..

If that's the reason, that's beyond rotten. But exactly because you're "obscure", what makes them say you stole what you uplaoded. What supports their claims it's not original or you don't have permission to use it? Where have they seen that material before? Are there such claims? It's very strange and a bit insulting, really. I'm not trying to make a huge deal out of it but it's, at least, annoying.
On the other hand, Facebook blocks first and verifies ( when it verifies) such claims later. At least, they "talked" to you.
They said they couldn't verify it.. and were asking for more information.. at first.. then they started putting warnings everywhere and threatened to shut my channel down
And a countdown timer.. 14 days to contact the third party creator to get permission to use the images..

Weirder and weirder...It really sucks being the little guy. Well, I'm glad it's sorted.
