Youtube put a strike on my channel?

I was wondering how I can get the strike off my channel? I got it over a year ago, probably close to 2 years ago and I removed the video basically as soon as I got that strike. I would like at some point to get partnership with youtube and I heard if you have even a single strike you'll be denied. So is there a way I can remove the strike? I heard of one way but I also heard if I do it maybe brought to court and have to fight my case which is so stupid, I removed the video and it happened at least a year ago. Any suggestions?
