I just got an invoice from Norton (alledgedly) and I don't use it. And it included a telephone numvber for a Debt Recovery company. We need to have wire and mail fraud extended to include email, with a bounty for Whistleblowers.

Not sure how this relates to YouTube, but in the US, you can get money via the FDCPA[1] if it's really a bogus debt and you're willing to pursue it. There are tons of websites that walk you through the process.

I wouldn't know if that's true, but since I wasn't talking about the TCPA, ok I guess?

Same difference. Your chances of winning of a lawsuit against some of the most powerful companies in the world is 0%
