Intellectual Infringment, Appeal Denied

Hello everyone,
I'm new here, hope I'm welcome. Couldn't find an introduction area so I hope this will suffice as my introduction to this community.
I'm 20, I've been into computers for as long as I can remember. I'm currently serving in the US Air Force. I plan after I get out in a couple years to go to college full time and get my Masters in Computer Science. I'm interested in either getting a job in computer forensics, administration, or software engineering. We'll see.
I don't normally get on forums much because I'm so busy but I'm getting more into Android development, or I was until Google's Android team stabbed me in the back.
To make this story short, I posted what was basically a soundboard, with clips of Mathew McConaughy's famous quotes. It was a joke app I made after a few friends and I started this running joke of "I was flying space ships before it was cool to fly spaceships." in a Matthew McConaughy voice (Interstellar Movie + Lincoln Commercial = Funny but overused joke).
Here's the weird thing though. I had originally made the app (io.mxb.matthewmcconaughysoundboard) and it stayed on the market for a week before I went to update it and realized I had lost the password to my keystore. I had to reupload my app with a new package name (io.mxb.soundboard. matthewmcconaughy), and when I did, not even an hour after uploading, I received the infamous email stating I had infringed on intellectual property.
I thought I was protected under Fair Use. But I'm not a lawyer, I don't know. I'm just very upset and confused. I even attempted to appeal their decision, most likely made by a bot. They denied reinstating the app and stated that their decision was final.
I've seen several apps with celebrity soundboards, some even with ads and paid versions. But I had no intention of putting ads or making a paid version of the app. It was just a free, funny app idea I had from a friend.
Any suggestions, ideas, support would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys.

Hello, I'm the "User Experience Admin" of XDA

Hey all!
My real name is Brandon Miniman, and you might have seen me on YouTube back in the day in Pocketnow videos. I live outside of Philadelphia, PA, and live with my wife and three kids (two girls and a boy), plus my puggle dog Ava.
I've used phones since the days of Windows Mobile phones (long live the HTC HD2 and Moto Q!). I currently use a Galaxy S21 Ultra and iPhone 12 mini.
Today, I'm part of the core leadership team at XDA where I spend my time overseeing operations (which includes working with mods, portal writers, and our technical team). Lately, since the upgrade from vBulletin to XenForo, I've been spending a lot of time working on a plan to grow the XDA community and make it the best place in the world to talk about phones. It's a tall order, and it's a bit complicated, so if you have any ideas or want to help, I'm all ears. My title is "user experience admin" because I'm the go-to guy for making the experience better on the site for users. That also means you can yell at me if you don't like something
You can follow me on Twitter if you care to: @brandonminiman. My DM box is always open if you have any questions or concerns about the site, or if you just want to say hi

Cheers Brandon!

hi everyone, im new here.

XDA was best warm home for AOSP.
XDA I like this portal for AOSP.

Hi every body, average user of modded rom, I'm here becauseof some mistake ... as usual...

Okay, you welcome!

It's been a long time....

Hello XDA, it's been a long time since I was truly active in these or any forums because life and reality provided an unintended distraction and then the pandemic. I find myself with a bit more time where I need a necessary diversion from reality and this forum has always provided this nerd with a world-wide community of nerds who really and truly know their ****. I have social networking friends that I follow, that I met through here and other technology forums that I have been friends with now for almost twenty years. I'm sure that how we met is irrelevant to many of them since we interact more about our day to day lives then the nerding out we did here in the forums. See, as a nerd, making real world friends was always difficult, but here, at XDA with my G1000 from Hitachi, one of the first-ever smart-phone, with a keyboard and a screen running Windows Mobile. I came here looking for a way to back-up my sms and call log to Microsoft Outlook and some genius had figured out a way to do it. I then had three different HTC Windows Mobile devices and XDA let me do amazing things with them.
Then, because I got suckered in to Sprint!, I upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy SII Touch or something ridiculous like that and it had so many issues out if the box but 2ss an amazing device. XDA was like High School and this is where you went from teen hacker wannabe to legit 1337 skills by rooting and then installing custom roms. The addiction to that thrill of knowing that a mistake, zigging when you're supposed to zag or skipping a step, rushing and missing something could spell disaster. I dropped a phone while installing a rom and the device boot-looped hard. Not to worry, XDA was here and someone else had done something similar, there was an entire forum thread devoted to all the people who had face-planted the rooting, rom or other process and lobotomized their Android device.
I still occasionally peruse the forums, lurking and liking and once in a while, replying. I just wanted to stop by and thank you for what seems like 17 or 18 years if amazing things. By you, I mean the people who run the forums behind the scenes at all levels and the moderators that keep the law and order necessary to thrive and function and you the users who's knowledge and other contributions are why we are here in these forums, from the creators to their guinea pigs to every other lurker like me. Thanks.

Intro

Hello everyone! Long time lurker and finally hit an obstacle simply searching all of your great posts couldn't fix. I've been on android since my first smartphone while living in South Korea in 2010. I'm a tech savvy aircraft mechanic who built computers as a kid back when you had to manually find your own drivers. Getting ready to switch professions to the IT world with my upcoming military retirement. Looking forward to the interactions on here, hopefully bringing a few unique problems to be solved in the forums.

My Introduction

Hey their guys, I know I'm a little late to the party but I decided it'd be good to introduce myself to the community.....Sooo Hai I'm Kenji, I'm a guy living and studying in England, I was originally from Japan. My hobby is generally around reverse engineering games and understanding the core structures developers put into place to prevent individuals from having an unfair advantage in games, I started hacking games from early 2015, back when I was a younger sport, I'm currently 21 and I've taken even more interest in Reverse engineering, going into fields such as Malware Analyst. Oh I almost forgot to mention I'm doing a degree in Comp Science. But yeah that's me. I initally joined XDA as I was interested in learning and exploring new areas

Welcome to XDA Forums. Hope you enjoy be in here
