Guys please stop posting links, it's not helping this cause driving more traffic to their site.
Also important to remember it's the
.org site that's the bad one.

same thing for the rest of the content on their site

The Youtube algorithm does not care if you like or dislike a video. It's engagement and that's all the algorithm cares about. Like/dislike/comment all increases the videos chance to be recommended.

I made a petition, and shared it via twitter / facebook with this text alongside. If anyone from the RaceDepartment staff or anyone else wants to take over this petition feel free to contact me, I just made it because he is on the third strike now. I feel we need to raise awareness even more.
An update from Mike, this is great news
It's really over?
If these people stop selling stuff, then more or less it will.

GOOD!!! I hope after this they wind their necks in a bit. Threatening legal action on others, trying to take a guys youtube channel away? Its all a bit much really. Hopefully a lesson learnt...
they will be quiet for some time, maybe removing some mods from their shop, then change web domain and restart as if nothing happened. I'm ready to bet.
anyway, super happy for Mike
Let's just wait and see, I'm sure Mike will update us when he knows more.
In the meantime maybe not do anything to disturb the situation.

From a viewer's point of view if i see a video with more dislikes than likes, i'd think it tells that something can be wrong with the content of that video. So even if disliking may raise the chance of those videos to be featured in the recommended, the message of the dislikes (especially if those are more than the likes) would be clear.
I can't really imagine a SDD video getting recommended out of nowhere on youtube. Their views are coming mainly from their store page, where they put these videos to demo their products. I highly doubt there are many people subscribed to their yt channel. The view numbers of their videos are quite low. These are simply marketing videos, so having many dislikes can actually discourage a few potential customers.

..and there will be another thread on RD in a couple years exactly the same as this on, Pitch Forks out and everything!

Hello again! I'm trying not to bombard you with updates and drama, so hopefully this will be my last update on the Sim Dream situation. Like all of you, I want to put this incident in the past and go back to focusing on our cool little niche. I was contacted by the Sim Dream team a few hours ago. They have agreed to contact YouTube and do what they can to have the strikes removed. For those of you who follow me on Twitter, you've seen that YouTube is aware of the situation and are investigating it as well. Whether this process resolves in time to save this channel is still to be determined, but the right parties are involved, so I'm optimistic for a positive result here. More importantly, Sim Dream has agreed to announce later this week that further measures will be put in place to avoid using the content of others in their mods. It's vague, but it's an acknowledgement. They have heard the community. In my response to their email I asked that they take better care to respond to mod creators who have contacted them, and that they don't use the work of others in their mods without specific permission. The thank yous I owe this community would fill a tome, so for now I'll just say that I appreciate you all beyond words. The strongest emotions over the past week didn't come from potentially losing my channel, it came from knowing that people cared that I was potentially losing my channel. Everything you've done to rally behind my channel and the cause I was trying to bring awareness to will not be forgotten. At this point I believe all that can be done has been done, so I'm kindly asking content creators to go back to their usual content. I'm satisfied that my message concerning stolen content has been heard by those who needed to hear it.
