Flow of YouTube copyright claim

First, if a copyright claim is filed, the person who holds the rights to the work will send YouTube a formal notice, which will include specific reasons for claiming that infringement has occurred.

  1. When YouTube receives the complaint, a notification will be sent to the person who posted the video.
  2. Upon receiving the notification, the author must take action within the specified period. This can include removing the video, editing the problematic part, or opposing it.
  3. If an objection is made, YouTube will review it and make a final decision after hearing the opinions of both the rights holder and the content contributor.
  4. If the objection is successful, the video will be republished and the objection will be discarded. On the other hand, if the objection is denied, the video will remain deleted.

How to Respond to Copyright Claims

If you receive a copyright claim, there are the following ways to respond:

  • Delete or edit your video: Delete or edit the parts that have been flagged as copyright infringement to fix the issue.
  • Direct Negotiation: There is also a way to contact the right holder directly to obtain permission or make a settlement.
  • Objection: Submit an objection in accordance with YouTube's guidelines. However, if the unauthorized use is true, the objection may not be allowed.
