In an unexpected turn of events, the director of the Pirate Bay documentary TPB-AFK has sent takedown notices to YouTube requesting its removal. The director states that he sees the streaming portal as a radicalizing platform full of hate. The takedowns are not without controversy, however, as TPB-AFK was published under a Creative Commons license.

You're kind of missing the point. He released the film under creative commons license, specifically Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported. The license specifically says;

You are free to: share -- copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format.

Which of course includes YouTube. The license cannot be revoked as long as you follow the license, and sharing to YouTube doesn't constitute breaking the license. Which means he's breaking the license.

He's very liable to be sued in this situation and he would absolutely lose.

Sued for what exactly?

Violation of his own Creative Commons license. It's a tenable contract in the United States--a contract between him and viewers, creators, and frankly anyone.
