My videos Claimed by: Collective_1 and Collective_4 !?

[Naomi]

I've just had another video have a claim placed on it by Collective_1 which I immediately disputed. No response to any of my other claims yet.

UPDATE: this morning I had 5 claims released by Collective_1. Still a few more to go.

Collective 1 4 etc are indeed valid claims. They are copyright holders for YouTubers and underground musicians. I know this because one of my youtube videos got claimed by Collective 4 and the song I used was a Dave Days one. I got permission from him before I uploaded so he helped me get them to remove the claim.
