Hi,

I post videos of video game walkthroughs with my commentary on Youtube.

Recently, I received a 'Content-ID' match on one of my videos of a video game walkthrough guide I completed about 6 months ago. The video contains my commentary the whole way through and is approx 54 mins long.

The 'Content-ID' match in the video, is in regards to a piece of music that lasts 40 seconds ... with my voice talking over the top of it. The Claimant appears to be some music company.

Is it possible to dispute this and win? Is it fair use? Or should I just grin and bear it?

Thanks
 
Sadly unless you have permission from music company for commercial use of it, you cant win. And unless you are doing review of that music I dont think it falls under fair-use.

I know it can be bummer to have claimed 60 minute video for 40 seconds, but sadly, Youtube works like that currently :/
