YT still tries to mostly stay out of these fights. As everyone knows, content ID isn't perfect, and one of the places where it's really imperfect is with classical music. While classical music compositions may often be public domain, sound recordings aren't.

so what if you have a bunch of classical musicians performing faithful covers of classical music, and one of them happens to submit to a company who has access to Content ID, such as
@Believemusic_UK ? You get claims -- incorrect ones.Show this thread -
Because YT mostly stays out of it, disputes and appeals are judged by the claimant, so it depends on how willing they are to recognize: "Hey, this isn't the same recording." Since YT doesn't get involved, lots of abuses are possible.

So, what's the recourse for a YouTuber like
@rousseaumusique ? Well, essentially, content ID and DMCA is like a game of legal chicken...it goes back and forth and back and forth with escalating consequences until one side backs down.Show this thread -
In this case, Believe has rejected the disputes, and will probably reject the appeals. This means they may issue a DMCA takedown which would give Rousseau copyright strikes. From there, Rousseau can counternotify, and Believe's next move would be to give in or to file lawsuit.

Lawsuits are expensive for everyone, and Believe probably should realize that they've made a bad claim. So, the chances of them actually suing probably should be low. Without a lawsuit, the takedown lapses, video goes back up, strikes are removed, and Rousseau wins.

But what happens to Believe? They have pretty much no penalty, because it also hasn't gone to court. YouTube probably *could* do something about people who misuse its voluntary content ID system, but this is fairly rare.
