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.
Sorry to hear you've been waiting so long. Unfortunately, our team doesn't have specific timelines for individual channels (thanks for understanding). Hopefully you don't have to wait too much longer for your update.
This is an important step (with more to come!) towards a better Copyright system for creators & music partners long term.
