No. I had to sign an affidavit as part of the appeal after Nintendo appealed saying I was willing to go to court and that YouTube was going to end their involvement in the dispute if it continued then the next email I received was saying I had lost my dispute and I could start the process over again for a third time. At that point I started considering the reality of doing this with every video and decided to cut my losses since it would never scale.

YouTube's content takedown/appeal process is both Kafkaesque and completely rigged in favor of large businesses. Even/especially when they claim content that they don't own.
And all thanks to the DMCA! I hate that law with a fiery passion.
