I'm pretty sure you cannot get ContentID approval if you actually have other people's intellectual properties used in your videos, that is if they do come up in them and not just on the thumbnails.

@pandakidztv Are you trying to become a Content ID Managment Partner by any chance? I think the people replying to you are not understanding your question; but I do.
Let me quote you from Google Support real quick: "Content ID acceptance is based on an evaluation of each applicant's actual need for the tools. Applicants must be able to provide evidence of the copyrighted content for which they control exclusive rights."
By "exclusive rights", Google means that either you are the original creator of the copyrighted content, or hold an exclusive licensing deal for same. An exclusive license means that the creator of said content has licensed that content solely to you and on a permanent basis, so that no other content creator can legally use that content unit.
"Content ID applicants may be rejected if other tools better suit their needs. These other tools include the copyright notification web form and the Content Verification Program (CVP)."
Content ID is only available to partners who can prove exclusive ownership of 200-2000 solely-owned content units, as I understand it. Videos created using royalty-free elements will not qualify; mashups and "best ofs" will not qualify. Concert and gameplay footage will not qualify.
If someone is copying and reposting your content without permission, may I suggest you flag the video for copyright, then let the process take you to the Copyright Notification form?
If I have posted all this for nothing, and what you were trying to do was dispute a Content ID, you can counter-notice when your video is taken down; but only if the content ID was a mistake and either you have a license for the claimed material, or own it outright and there was a mismatch.
I just had a look at your channel; and if you were trying for the Content ID Management Program I know exactly why you got rejected! A: Half of your postings can be considered mashups and B: All of your content contains or references commercial characters copyrighted by major studios, including The Walt Disney Company.
Are you part of The Walt Disney Company? If not, I wouldn't draw attention to your channel by trying to become a Content ID Partner unless you have exclusive licensing rights from Disney itself. You are quite possibly risking having your channel shut down instead of getting protection from YouTube.
If it is a Content ID claim situation however, your best choice is to acknowledge any claim placed against your content, accept the monetary loss, and move on.

We are trying to get Youtube content ID for our music. We record all our own music. We are not trying to get content id for Visuals. Maybe I should apply again

Did you write the music and lyrics for any of the music you speak of? The ABC song was around when I was a child, and I will be 60 years old next August. Unless you or one of your team are the lyricist, composer and publisher of all of the music you are trying to get into the Content ID system with, YouTube will not approve you. You also cannot get in with any songs that are in the Public Domain.
If you record someone else's song (i.e. you didn't write the music or lyrics), unless you have a license to "cover" the song from the publisher, the lyricist and the score's composer (which the publisher can usually clear), you cannot even claim copyright in your own recording of same; as the recording wasn't created with the proper permissions.

I'm curious if YouTube told you this directly. Public domain for the composition of course cannot be protected, but the performance of said piece certainly can.
That said, I tend to agree. Anyone looking at that channel, even just from a music perspective will see all of the copyrighted characters and probably deny and move on.

Hi Tarmack; rather than speculate, just let me grab the relevant section of YouTube Support. I paused a video render because my instinct told me I needed to look at this thread again.
"Applicants must be able to provide evidence of the copyrighted content for which they control exclusive rights."
I agree that a new performance of a Public Domain work can be copyrighted by the performer; the question here is can the OP provide evidence that their performance is copyrighted? I. E., can he or she provide a government-issued copyright registration document to separate their particular performance from all others which might also fall under copyright protection?
This next is not from Google Support, but from the Content ID Handbook.
"Some types of content are highly likely to generate erroneous claims, because they are indistinct from other similar works. These include without limitation:
Karaoke sound recordings
"Sound-alike" or "Replay" sound recordings
Sound effects
Recordings, remasters, and remixes of Public Domain content"
So yes, you could say that YouTube told me this directly, as it is straight out of their own Content ID Handbook. This was found under "Material Inappropriate For Content ID".
