Because there’s a set of copyrights to protect the writers of songs for the lyrics/melody that they've created, you can receive a claim if you sing a song a cappella (regardless of the quality of your vocals--although, tbh, we were impressed). More info: http://goo.gl/ESkbsb
They’re making money on a 14 min+ vid he created. They own the 20 second song, sure, but he still owns the other 14 minutes of his creation. Sounds like you need to divide the revenue and not give them full reign because the vid includes 20 seconds of him singing their song.
Welcome to YouTube, where content creators have been getting bombarded with false copyright claims, demonetized, etc for some time now. The entire YouTube copyright system in general is incredibly abusive sadly.
My channel has been suspended for 19 months due to 3 false copyright claims and I’m still waiting for YouTube to do something about it. I’m beyond depressed, this situation is making me sick


Don't give up. A similar thing happened to an old YouTube channel I used to run, except it was falsely terminated because a game developer didn't like a review I made about their game. My channel was reinstated.
