Anyway, here's what I believe is going on. A program signs up for RYC. RYC asks that program owner what the longest length tube video that sponsor will allow on a tube site. For this example, let's say the program owner says 2 minute. Great, so any video from that sponsors programs over 2 Minutes that RYC finds, they have been asked by the program owner to DMCA.

Then, an employee of the program gives one of their affiliates a bunch of 5 minute videos to use on tubes. Or, the employee himself uploads the 5 min vids for his own marketing unaware of the program owners agreement with RYC. RYC sees them and BAM, DMCA.

RYC really isn't to blame here. They've been asked by the program to DMCA any video over 2 mins. RYC is providing a professional service acting on behalf of the program owner's direction.
