The pattern is so incredibly clear. Artist releases songs CC, gets lots of people to use them. Then - bait and switch time! Now they're suddenly in the ContentID database.

And while I can fight the individual claims, there's no way to get this blatant abuse actually removed from the database. No amount of upheld disputes will actually lead to any punishment.

It'd be really simple for
@YTCreators to actually do too - instead of just being able to select "I have a license", let me select "this is free for anyone to use"...Show this thread -
And then, if I submit a dispute with that claim and the rights holder accepts it, *remove the song from the database*.

YouTube still wouldn't have to be arbiter, but there would still an easy and reliable way for content creators to fight back against ContentID abuse. Great for everyone except rights holders who abuse the system.

Perfect illustration of how broken ContentID
@TeamYouTube. The network took several weeks to release their false claim... the new one is *literally the same song*, but on a different video.pic.twitter.com/mL0n4UGB8Y

12 minutes. That's how long my channel was free of false claims. 12 minutes from winning a dispute over a
@creativecommons licensed song to a new claim on the same song by the people who just 12 minutes before agreed that they had no right to claim it.Show this thread -
And they can keep doing it without repercussions, over and over and over again.

That royalties are paid back now is a good start, but the system is still broken. As you say a successfully fought false claim also needs to affect other false claims with the same source. YouTubers should document false claims publicly. Would be interesting to see the scale.

Yeah. The complete lack of consequences is at the core of the problem.
