Dispute a copyright claim

If your video got a copyright claim (generated by the Content ID system), you can dispute a claim if you have a valid reason, such as:

  • Having all the necessary rights to the content in your video.
  • Using the content in a way that qualifies as a copyright exception, such as fair use.
  • Believing your video was misidentified or an error was made.
Copyright strikes are different from copyright claims. If your channel got a copyright strike, go to the copyright strikes article to learn more.
