A copyright claim on YouTube occurs when a copyright owner files a notice claiming that a video uploaded to the platform contains copyrighted material that they own. This claim is made through the Content ID system, which is a technology that scans uploaded videos and compares them to a database of copyrighted material. If the system identifies content in the video that matches content in the database, the copyright owner can make a claim on the video. When a copyright claim is made on a YouTube video, the copyright owner has several options. They may choose to have the video removed from the platform, or they may choose to monetize the video by running ads on it. In some cases, the copyright owner may choose to block the video from being viewed in certain countries or require that the revenue from ads be shared with them. If you receive a copyright claim on one of your YouTube videos, you will be notified through your YouTube account. You will be able to see details about the claim and the content that has been claimed. If you believe that the use of the copyrighted material in your video is protected by fair use or that you have permission to use the material from the copyright owner, you can dispute the claim by providing evidence to support your claim.
