Hi folks,

Running Powerdirector 365 on a subscription. I uploaded a Youtube Video today, its our third for our channel and I have received 2 Audio Copyright claims, not a copyright strike but two audio copyright claims.

Please see link to video for reference only and the screenshots showing the powerdirector timeline with the music audio which is audio tracks directly through Pinnacle.

Youtube Video Link

The audio tracks youtube have stated are completely different titles. and one of the tracks I have used through my other videos.

I have sent youtube the feedback stating I am allowewd to use the music through Pinnacle.

Please see the screenshots showing the pinnacle music and the timeline including the two suggested audio tracks i copyrighted!

Youtube Claims

Question, is there anything else I can do? Will this just go away?

Thoughts and comments as I'm very unsure what will happen.

P.S Surely this is just a bad mistake by YouTube ??

You can open a dispute, so some human being will look into your case, I think.
My channel is not monetized and most of the time I just accept not to monetize the video and everything is fine.
But there are certain songs that are not allowed to be used in any way, Youtube blocks it for some countries or the whole world.

Ok thanks very much for the explanation, I have pulled the video down just not to go through the bother, easy enough to change the music even though it's powerdirector music 👍👍

Youtube's copyright system is insane. Their dispute process is almost useless.

Basically, the first person to upload a track can claim a copyright to the track whether they actually own it or not. If you upload the track afterwards and get hit with a copyright claim, it's basically up to the original uploader to concede to your claim. Youtube doesn't actually look into it much. If the original uploader admits they don't legally own it, they can release their claim to it. If not, you have to sue them.

Seriously... that's how it works.

I actually had a video that had been in the public domain for decades get hit because some hip-hop amateur had sampled some of the dialogue in one of their tracks.

Good luck.
