    For those who don't want to watch the video:

    The Verge sent YouTube DMCA takedown notices for videos that parodied a (apparently bad) tutorial on building a gaming PC made by The Verge. After appeals by the authors of the parody videos, YouTube has restored the videos and contacted The Verge's parent company Vox Media with concerns about their abuse of the copyright strike system.
