Does Joining a MCN Help with Content Matches?

that is a tricky niche...
Have you ever tried to put the movie content on a window for example? I see that you put the movie content on the majority of your screen while you are on the corner but, perhaps if you scale down the movie content to occupy around 20% of the video might help? just a thought. Also, decreasing the amount of time you are showing the movie content may help.
Not sure if this helps but you can do a test run to see if any match comes up.

Thanks, yeah I thought about playing around with the layouts, but I'm sure 99% of the reason I'm getting matched is the audio, as it only seems to pick up parts where I'm not saying much. I'm going to try a few things soon and see what works.
 
well, you can contact an mcn prior to apply for one and see what they say about it. But be ready for a slow response time due to the trickiness of this niche. But for now focus on reducing the content match.
 
Keep in mind that trailers are copyrighted and you do not have the right to submit trailers by themselves. By commenting on the trailers, you may be allowed to use the trailers with fair use, an American law. However, keep in mind this is a legal grey area, so you want to do a lot of research into fair use. Also, using fair use for commercial use (having ads on videos) puts you in a more tricky place legally. YouTube and networks will be reluctant to protect you if you rely on fair use, since them defending you can end up leading to a court case. You could try appealing all of your claimed videos, and explain why the videos are covered by fair use and how you are commenting on the videos (fair use mostly exists due to free speech - it should protect companies from suing you for copyright infringement simply because you criticised them/their product).

So, networks may be able to help with Content ID claims if you contact their support, however depending on the size of your channel, they may be reluctant to help you. The other thing, is that managed partners under networks do not have automated Content ID checks, but getting access to one requires having a large channel and to be in good standing with copyright, which can be especially hard if you are relying on fair use. Contact different networks' support and ask them if they'd be able to help you and if they'd be able to offer managed status to you if you were to join them, and explain your situation.

TL;DR: Networks are unlikely to be able to help much, but if you feel that the claims are unjustified, they may be able to help out with appealing the claims, contact them before joining.

Just add: I've heard this scan immunity will be canceled soon (when you are under MANAGED).

I'd be interested to know where you heard this. I don't really see why Content ID scan immunity for managed partners would need to be removed, since so few people even have it, as you need either a CMS account, or to be one of a tiny minority of top people in a MCN's CMS, if that MCN even makes people managed. Content ID is partly in place to stop YouTube from getting involved in a law suit, and considering only very trusted partners have Content ID immunity, I don't imagine YouTube paranoid about them getting sued due to any of them.

Also, with the amount of fraudulent claims, I can imagine top YouTubers being hit by many fake content ID claims if this were to happen, since the person who claims the content has a whole month to accept the appeal, keeping a month's revenue.

Could not agree with you.
PS: I've heard it from one of a MCN's CEO (it was around 2 months ago)
