I recently got a copyright claim for using the Seinfeld Theme Song in one of my videos, it was claimed by some company under the name of: [Merlin] IDOL Distribution On behalf of: Playtime
I am wondering if this claim is legitimate seeing as there are so many "copyright trolls" on Youtube these days. I feel that this is not legitimate because the Seinfeld Series was made almost 20 years ago (last episode published in 1998), and unless Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David themselves are a part of this company, they have no right to claim it, which i have very large amounts of doubt that he has any associations with this company.
I would like anyone's thoughts and information on this and whether or not i should dispute the claim (if this really is a troll).
Here is a screenshot of the claim on Youtube:
P.S. If you need anymore information on this, please reply to this thread or PM me, thank you.
