Counter-notice is a response required by DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act), a U.S. copyright.
Under DMCA, service providers (like YouTube) are given immunity of hosting copyright infringed material as soon as they allow the copyright holder to request a take-down.
The request for take-down is known as take-down notice. This notice is unbiased as all materials will be taken down as soon as it has been received regardless.
However, DMCA also allows measures to counter the take-down (re-posting). This request is known as the counter-notice. By providing this notice, the alleged copyright violator claims back that he/she has the right to use the material (the take-down was wrong) and request the providers to re-post any materials that have taken down and waive the providers' liability. This is usually required for copyright lawsuits.
In your case, you will have 2 choices (as you are the one issuing the take-down notice):
1. You agree with the notice. Case closed; or
2. You disagree with the notice. You are allowed to initiate a lawsuit against the alleged violator.
