Public Domain Music Claimed -_-

Then it probably includes a copyrighted track. I recommend you delete the video, as you will probably get a strike for a false dispute.

Unless I was lied to about it being PD, it's PD music, so no one can claim it. If they fight back, I can't push further, don't have the money for it, but until then, no point in giving up.
 
Yeah, it's not public domain unless they specifically mention it somewhere on their site or it fits the public domain conditions (being really old and the composer died a very long time ago, in a nutshell).

It did say so on the site. The music was scored in the 1800s. I don't know what rendition it was, looking that up now, but it clearly stated PD on the website and was even on the Wikia Commons. I'll get you the link in a sec.

Edit: Doesn't say whose rendition, all it says is that it's from the 'European Archive,' but here's the website: musopen . org/music/1500/pyotr-ilyich-tchaikovsky/swan-lake-op20/

Makes me wonder how that's not the same as normal infringement and how they don't get punished for it. There should be something that says, "hey, I've seen that you've gotten x number of claims that you've lost, maybe something is wrong with what you're trying to claim," then investigate :/

YouTube do investigate and take action on people abusing the tools, but for big labels and companies that manage millions of copyrights they won't take action on them.

At least they do something, though I feel like if anyone was to abuse the system anyway, it'd be the big guys. x'D
 
How does one file a dispute in which the game developer itself has never heard of the company stating the claim? There isn't an option for 'the claim is wrong and the claimant doesn't own jack'.

Here is what might be confusing.

You say the composition(scored) is Public Domain. That might be true. The sound recording (the thing you hear) might be copyrighted.

Example: I cover Traditional public domain holiday song. I sell it on iTunes. I've now made a new copyrighted work that means only the sound recording is copyrighted. I own the sound recording but not the music composition. This is what might be happening.


Unless the site says "Master Recording in the Public Domain" that would be different.

I understand that, which is why I mentioned I didn't know which rendition it was, however on the website I got it from, it claims it's PD.
