Depends totally on the copyright holder. The Content ID system is only available to 'entities' who are approved on application to YouTube Admin.
From the YouTube Help section:
"YouTube only grants Content ID to copyright owners who meet specific criteria. To be approved, they must own exclusive rights to a substantial body of original material that is frequently uploaded by the YouTube user community.
YouTube also sets explicit guidelines on how to use Content ID. We monitor Content ID use and disputes on an ongoing basis to ensure these guidelines are followed.
Content owners who repeatedly make erroneous claims can have their Content ID access disabled and their partnership with YouTube terminated.
If you are a content owner and believe your content meets the criteria, you may apply for Content ID."
When Content ID is triggered on a user upload, the content owner has several options available to them; some of which will trigger an automatic strike. Most don't, however. If a DMCA Takedown Notice is given by a content owner unlucky enough to not own copyright on enough assets to qualify for Content ID, this is a totally different matter and the legal process is entered automatically. If the person whose video was taken down chooses to Counter-Notice the DMCA, then the original server will have ten days to take the poster to court. If he or she doesn't file a court case, the video must be restored by YouTube.

Nope. There is no option that results in an automatic strike. They have track, monetize and block. Track provides analytics data. Monetize does as well but forces monetization. Block makes the video not visible. None of these strikes the channel. Only a DMCA takedown does that and this requires manual content owner involvement.

Beg to differ with you, Tarmack; there is at least one in the Content ID system that does it. If a Content Owner chooses to block the viewing of a video tagged by Content ID worldwide, that both throws the involved channel into bad standing, and results in an automatic strike against same. A partial block, which only blocks it for some areas, doesn't do this.
If you don't believe me, research it on YouTube. OMG!!! I just found the Content ID Handbook!! Let me sink my teeth into this baby![DOUBLEPOST=1441300126,1441299279][/DOUBLEPOST]
Let me correct my last statement; a worldwide block though it may not look like a copyright strike, will have the same effect as one. The person claimed against's account goes into bad standing, loses the ability to upload videos longer than 15 minutes, loses custom thumbnails, monetization may be disabled for future uploads, and unless the block is cleared, these conditions will last for six months.
In other words, if it looks like a duck, waddles and quacks like a duck...get my drift?
