@TeamYouTube Regarding copyright claims: Companies get 30 days to respond to appeals, but when it comes to a response from a YouTuber: "After 5 days any held revenue will be released to the claimant." Why not just make it 30 days for both parties?

Also - it would be great if claimants had to provide information about themselves. Some sort of contact information would be helpful so we could communicate outside of the copyright tools, and also to verify that they even have rights to the claims they're making.

With the way it works now, it's very easy for the system to be abused from the claimant's side, and incredibly intimidating from the YouTuber's. Especially when networks/YT just give us the runaround when seeking help. Speaking from personal experience. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for reaching out. We found the 5-day period works for most uploaders whereas content owners may have hundreds of thousands of disputes to review, so we give them up to a month. Also, extending the 5-day period would make payments (disbursed monthly) more complicated.

For contact info, you can always write to copyright@youtube.com and they can share the email address with you for the content owner who claimed the video.

Also, we know uploaders are sometimes intimidated by the dispute process, but if you’re certain your video was claimed in error, we’d encourage you to dispute.

A lot of uploaders dispute claims in bad faith, so we do try to remind uploaders about the legal risks involved before they move forward.

I would argue that uploaders also need an extended period of time because we're getting into a bunch of legal jargon that we're usually inexperienced with. I got in contact with YT though my network and they told me to get an attorney. 5 days isn't enough for one person.

Even going through the copyright@youtube email (which I dont think I saw listed anywhere during the process), the assumption is that we’ll get in contact with YT and then also the other company and resolve it within 5 days, which doesn’t seem too realistic.

One of the biggest issues is that companies can push you to a final appeal without needing proof of ownership, as far as I can tell. Are there consequences for claimants who enforce their bad-faith claim initially, then release it at the final stage?

"If you’re certain the video was claimed in error, dispute” But what if I AM certain and they reject my dispute the first time just in the hopes that I’ll give up? Is there anything stopping someone from submitting false claims, pocketing the money during the dispute, repeat?

Thank you for hearing me out and responding. I really do appreciate being listened to, and I hope I’m coming across okay. I’m a little heated about a copyright situation I went through but don’t mean to take it out whoever is replying, hah.
