Does have me wondering how YouTube would verify likeness, though. I could just find a video I don't like and claim to be a person in it. If all they need is a photo, I feel like that'd be easy to mock up. If they require government ID, that's getting into uncomfortable UK-esque ID verification territory.

Requiring proof of identification when you are taking legal action is significantly different from requiring proof of ID at all times.

Considering how lazy YouTube is about such things they'd probably just take your word for it and force the video creator to prove it isn't you in order to get their ad revenue back.
