YouTube hands out thousands of Copyright Strikes to YouTubers each year.

You receive a Copyright Strike when a copyright owner complains to YouTube, that you are using their copyrighted content in one of your YouTube videos without permission and that YouTube must takedown your video.

These complaints by Copyright owners are known as Digital Millennium Copyright Act Takedown notices in American copyright law, they are also known as DMCA Takedowns notices.

Getting a DMCA takedown notice made against one of your videos on YouTube will mean that your video is taken down from YouTube and are given a copyright strike from YouTube.

On YouTube you get a Copyright Strike every time you get a DMCA Takedown notice.

Getting a Copyright Strike will put your account in bad standing and you will access to certain features on your YouTube channel.

Just like in baseball if you get 3 strikes you are out. On YouTube, if you get 3 Copyright Strikes, YouTube will shutdown your channel will be shutdown.
