I Love YTtalk
Hi everyone. I recently posted a video and withiin minutes I got 3 copyright claims saying I used their songs but after I checked I actually didnt't use their songs. But co I freaked out I deleted the video right away. I want to re-post the video but what do I do about the claims??

What song? Who claimed it? How do you know it isn't their song? If you're sure it isn't, then just dispute the claim.

In the email it tells you which song specifically they are claiming and I looked it up and it sounds no where close to the songs I have. I'm going to re-post the video and give credit to the songs I used. i usually do but got super busy and just uploaded it really fast. I'm really curious to see what happens.

What if I lose the dispute does that mean I get a first strike in my account?
 
If you dispute it, it is up to the claimant to release the claim or reject your dispute. If they reject the dispute, the claim will stay on there. Nothing negative happens to your account as a whole. It only affects that video and the way it affects it depends on what the claimant decides to do, such as put ads on it.

If they reject it and you still wish to fight it, you can appeal the rejection. If they still don't want to release the claim, they will have to have your video removed and THAT will give you a copyright strike. Then of course you can submit a counter notification and they will have 10 business days in order to prove they are going to sue you in order to keep the video down. Otherwise it will go back up and the strike will be removed. If they don't even own the song on your video, there is no way they can sue you anyway. And even if they did, the chances of them suing you is highly unlikely and way more trouble than it is worth.

Okay so let's assume they are right and it's their song and I keep my video posted what will happen? Will they b earning the money I make from that video or will that cause me to get a strike?
 
You'll only get a strike if they take your video down. They'll only do that if you dispute, they reject it, you appeal that, and they decide to take it down. Of course anyone can take any video down for any reason, but most likely they won't do that if they are wanting to put ads on it. If you do nothing or dispute it and they reject it, they'll just earn money from it instead of you.
 
People get a little over concerned about copyright strikes I think. Maybe there's not enough understanding about how the process works, but in general the absolute worst that will happen with the majority of cases is that the video will be ineligible for monetization. And if you know you're in the right, then it's always worth fighting through the dispute process.

As an example, one of my recent videos was marked for monetization but I had an email from YT to say they needed proof of commercial rights for the content. So I filled in the form, basically saying "We filmed it, I edited it, the music is free for public use". Then I got another mail focusing on the music, which was from YouTube's own audio library, so I had to fill in another form to tell them that I was using music from their own site. Eventually they released any restriction and it was monetized.

Moral of the story: the system is far from infallible, always dispute when you know you're in the right, don't be afraid to use the process.
