Anyone noticed the "Remove a song" feature?

I just encountered it. I made a video game using public domain music and uploaded a playthrough, but one of the songs had a (bogus) matched 3rd party content thing. It scared me at first because of difficulties with a different channel, but it allowed me to use the "remove a song" feature instead of dealing with the BS that usually comes with these notifications. It only had to mute like five seconds because apparently the guy with the supposed copyright didn't bother to copyright the whole song, but hey, whatever, I got through a (bogus) copyright issue without dealing with the stress. I wouldn't have gotten a strike, apparently. It would have allowed me to use it but the other person monetize, but screw that. I just hope it doesn't start that horrible question mark on the monetization box thing.


Come to think of it, it may not be new, but I've never used it.

Yeah, it's been around for a while. It doesn't usually work all that great lol.

In this case I hadn't talked for a while and this was just ambient music, so hopefully no more issues. Their whole copyright claim thing doesn't work so well to start with, and is quite often abused because Google doesn't listen to the creators.

By not working great, do you mean screwing up audio, or not removing the issue?

Both, Sometimes you can click remove song, and then it will throw back an error saying that they couldn't complete your request.

When it does work, it usually messes up the audio pretty hard. With a buffer before and after the infringing content.

Hmmm. Well, it's processing now, so I guess I'll find out soon. It doesn't say how long, it just says "has started processing". I saved it as a new video and I'm just gonna delete the other when it finishes. I really hope it works out. I refuse to file another claim and if I have to I'll convert it to MP4 (currently flv) so I can mute that part and render in Sony Vegas myself.
 
Tried it over a year ago on a video, like @SwingPoynt said it's not all that great, it ended up muffling my voice and you could barely hear me.
 
I tried it once and it worked fine as it was only a small section of my video that had copyright audio. But now I'll just re-edit the video on my computer and mute or replace the audio so the rest of the video/audio quality isn't affected.
