For crying’ out loud, @Youtube has put a copyright claim on a sermon video I edited because of the music added to the end (Amazing Grace.) It’s most certainly not legit, but my experience is that Youtube never admits it, so I’m clicking the “erase” feature to get rid of it.

More digging today, back 5 years. I found several more sketchy claims. 2 were totally bogus. One was kids singing in a Christmas program & the other was the music team singing a hymn written in 1772.
@Youtube really needs to fix their copyright algorithms.https://twitter.com/AvgAndy/status/1049815682819510279 …Andy Olson added,

Even the few that were correctly matched to the legit copyright owner are bogus, IMO, because the music is royalty-free. Putting ads on our sermon video & monetizing for the copyright holder is a defacto royalty.

If your videos has content ID claim/match, copyright owners can choose to monetize/block their content. Explained in detail here: https://goo.gl/qDkxXy . Hope this helps clarify!

But your system stinks. A bunch of kids singing a Christmas song shouldn’t get a copyright claim. Nor should a church group singing a 246 year old hymn.

I side with Youtube. I mean, John Newton has only been dead for, what, 200 years? He deserves his copyright protection!pic.twitter.com/FWAy1ZucI1

Maybe if copyright law gave his estate protection, but such protection doesn’t extend back pre-American Revolution.
