WMG copyright claim for my video with no music

[Lukas Kade]

I disputed a false content ID claim by WMG because my video does not even have music in it. So I guess they can claim any video they want? Now the email I got from Youtube says WMG gets to decide if the claim is valid or not and if I am to blame some how then my whole channel can get deleted. What?!!

It is funny that no music description (by Youtube I mean) exists below your video as usually when copyrighted one is used. Perhaps a glitch on the video like @14:30 some confusing noise, some passing car's radio, or background sounds confused the music checking system? Guess you have nothing to worry about?

To be honest, this is nothing new.
Youtube's copyright system has been hilariously broken since the initial implementation of it.

Have you checked the video for background noise? Possible music from a 3rd source near to you at time of filming?

I watched the video again and around the 4 minute mark it does sound like music is faintly playing from far away but I don't see how Youtube can tell what song it is when the sound is mixed with wind, cars, birds, my voice, and other sounds. How can the content ID system be that advanced? I guess we have to fly out into space to make videos so there won't accidentally be a sound that is copyrighted from somewhere.

Just go in and let YouTube delete the music. Warning, if it is in the background, they tend to just delete everything else along with it.

I actually got a (false) claim on one of my videos because someone claimed the birds tweeting in my back garden...........

I just decided to delete it and reupload the same video except this time I made it 4 minutes long instead of 16 so hopefully WMG won't find whatever it did before.
