Content ID is a digital finger-printing system that helps identify copyrighted material used in YouTube videos. Music Vine uses this technology to protect the intellectual property of our recordings. We regret that this causes an inconvenience to our customers, having to clear the claim, but if we do not protect our music in this way, we leave ourselves open to fraudsters who might register our music for themselves in order to claim the advertising revenue.

If you have purchased a licence, it is easy to clear a copyright claim. It's important to know too, that this is not the same as a copyright 'strike' on your channel and clearing these claims is a common practice in the YouTube video upload process.

​

You can clear a claim directly in YouTube Studio by following these steps:

• Hover your mouse over 'Copyright Claim' and click 'See Details'.

• In the 'Actions' section, select 'Dispute'.

• Check the box 'My dispute isn't based on any of the reasons above...' and continue.

• Select the 'Licence' option and continue.

• Check the box 'I have permission to use the content from the copyright owner.' and continue.

• Fill the box with your Music Vine licence details with a note to say that you purchased a licence from the Music Vine website, check the mandatory boxes and hit 'Submit'.
