Content ID Claims Overview

Why the music claimant can monetize the "entire" video? there are works and other rights of the creator (images, contract, investments, etc). I propose that YouTube only allow revenue sharing and avoid taking over the entire work to raise funds. Ex:In the case of a dance, the music cannot be separated.

It would be very important that we could add our music. In many, if not all folk and cultural cases, YouTube music is not suitable. I propose that YouTube work to allow this.

Dispute Process for Content ID

See the problem is at , where disputes shouldn't be done unless 'we' have all the rights for the claimed content. There is no path for us to report when the 'claimant' doesn't have all the rights for the claimed content. 90% of the music claims I get are people who have taken music from a video game, 'remixed' it, then released that somewhere. They do not have the rights to do that nor the rights to be claiming the music from all gameplay videos. So in this situation, neither I nor the claimant have ALL the rights to the claimed content, but I have to prove I have the rights when they don't. Claimants should have to submit proof of their rights to the claimed content.Then, because they're already bad actors, of course they are going to reject any disputes. They're just trying to steal ad revenue. The only next step for us creators is to provide these bad actors with out CONTACT INFO. That is a serious security risk for any creator! We already have to deal with stalking, harassment, and scammers, and these bad actors will just get our contact info for abusing the Content-ID system.This is just an easy way for bad actors to get creators' contact info.

There is an inequality and protection to the claimant by YouTube: The creator must verify that he has all the rights to the video and must even give his email address. The complainant never answers in the affirmative and in many cases his email address is fictitious because he never answers.
