A policy preventing Copyright owners from making $ on manual claims for:
Short song clips (ex: 5 sec of a song)
Unintentional audio (ex:
from passing cars)
Claimants can still block monetization or the video itself, but timestamps help you edit out the claim.

(1/2) For the 1st group, using any amount of content you don't own (even a few seconds) puts you at risk for a claim/takedown. You have the right to argue Fair Use, but only courts (not YouTube) can decide if it's protected under Fair Use. More info here: https://yt.be/help/claims-FAQ

(2/2) For the 2nd group, can you DM us some examples of videos with brief sound effects/music where you think the claims are abusive? We’ll pass them onto our copyright team to take a look.
