This was also "Manually Detected" so it wasn't some weird algorithm match. Someone actually saw the clip and went "yeah this seems right"
I actually saw @TeamYouTube defend the decision of the claimant in a similar circumstance on the site. Apparently singing lyrics from a song IS enough to validate a claim now haha
Singing gets you claimed? That's the biggest amount of BS YouTube had ever done. Anyone can sing, and YouTube can destroy it your video by copyrighting it JUST because you SANG the lyrics?? YouTube just isn't YouTube anymore. Like Doctor Who isn't Doctor Who anymore lol.
YouTube does have to follow US law, and yeah anyone can sing but not anyone can sing existing songs for money. A video isn't destroyed by being copyright claimed. To stop this from happening you have to change the law because YouTube is forced to comply.
