Person who filed the copyright strike against Psyche's channel

AI · ARCHIVAL
Scott Henderson is a musician whose copyright claim resulted in the removal of Psyche's livestream content and forced the host through YouTube's formal dispute resolution process. He appears in the archive not as a guest or voice, but as an external actor whose legal action created immediate operational and emotional friction for the show.
Henderson's presence in the archive is entirely mediated through Psyche's response to his copyright strike. The incident occurs during a livestream featuring tarot reading and discussion about cats, content that apparently contained music or audio triggering Henderson's automated or manual copyright detection system. The strike forces Psyche into YouTube's bureaucratic machinery—copyright school modules, counter-notification filing, waiting periods—transforming an administrative action into a recurring narrative thread about the vulnerabilities of content creators to intellectual property claims. Henderson himself never appears to defend or explain the strike; his agency is felt only through its consequences, making him a figure of absent authority in the archive's discourse.
The copyright strike itself constitutes the primary friction point. Psyche's framing suggests the strike may have been disproportionate or potentially erroneous given the nature of the content, though the archive provides no direct evidence of Henderson's reasoning or whether the claim was technically justified. The incident reflects broader tensions between musician copyright protections and creator-friendly platform policies, with Henderson positioned (implicitly) as the enforcer of rights rather than as a subject of dialogue.
Henderson has no documented relationship with Psyche beyond the legal claim. He does not appear alongside other figures in the archive and is not referenced in other episodes. His sole connection is transactional and adversarial—a rights holder acting against the show's operational continuity.
