Time for my periodic public callout of @UMG, who claimed this video, specifically the song starting at 13:43, an extremely clear-cut example of fair use, as the discussion is the lyrics of the claimed song. There's subtitles and everything.https://youtu.be/xU1ffHa47YY?t=823 …

Technically, isn’t YouTube in violoation of that contract, since you and Audible both had good faith reasons to believe YouTube would never put ads on this video per their own policies regarding sponsored content? Might be time to get your sponsor involved...

That's a good question - since the video is marked as having sponsored content in the metadata, it's not like YouTube was unaware. What's the deal

The unfortunate thing is UMG will likely just try to outspend you to the point you can't feasibly contest this without great financial cost :-( Still, you're definitely on the right side of things and I damn sure hope you can stick it to them somehow.
