By law, YouTube has to cooperate. Copywrite issues are beyond YouTube’s control.

To do otherwise YouTube will have to go to court over each song claim because the music industry will 100% sue for YouTube not complying. Music industry is the ruthless one.

But wouldn't youtube win every case like that? 5 seconds of music is fair use, saying the lyrics is fair use

Oh, also saying the lyrics isn't fair use either. Lyrics are copyrighted under US law and just saying them out loud on a product that makes money isn't allowed. Melody is copyrighted too, which is why you on YouTube and people on TV/movies can't hum popular tunes.

Lyrics can 100% be fair use, it depends on how you use it (which is what fair use is about). If you say the whole lyrics of the whole song for no reason then obviously that's not fair use. If you criticize parts of a song and say the lyrics that is fair use.

Yes totally, I'm just speaking in terms of what Jack did in his video and the claim in question. He just sang/spoke the song on a monetised video. I know fair use exists for journalism, criticism, parody, and education, just Jack's usage in the video is none of those.

This just isn’t true. Covers of songs are 100% legal. This could truly be considered a cover legally. he wasn’t sampling any of the source material. These copyright claims are ridiculous and would never hold up in a court of law.

Why do you say it just isn't true? It is. Cover songs need a 'mechanical license': https://bit.ly/2U21sCw Also: https://bit.ly/2CI6YE3 Cover songs are not fair use and neither are remixes. You can do it but expect to be claimed.
