The claim you received is simply a notification that YouTube's Content ID system has detected a CD Baby artist's content in your video. If you are not a CD Baby artist and you're getting a CD Baby claim, it probably means one of two things:
1. You're familiar with the artist and got permission to use their original content. If you did not get permission then our claim must remain on the video.
or
2. You received a false claim. This happens when the content that claimed your video is not eligible for YouTube monetization. Sound elements like royalty free beats, loops, sound effects, and tracks in the public domain can all create false claims. Unfortunately ineligible content can get passed our vetting process on occasion. Just fill out a request form as detailed below and we'll help!
If you got permission from a CD Baby artist and want our claim released:
We require proof of permission to release a claim. You have two options for submitting that to us:
-
The video creator can dispute CD Baby's claim from within their YouTube account. Here's how.
In the dispute note, the video creator should provide a link to documented permission, a license copy, or anything that our Content ID analysts can reference for such permission.
We suggest using a program such as Google Drive or Dropbox to create a link since you cannot attach a file to your dispute.
*Important - Our content ID analysts review all disputes received. They will release the claim on the video if proof of permission appears sufficient. If proof of permission is not provided or is inadequate, the claim may be reinstated, so it is very important to include this information.
- Provide permission with a support ticket here.
This option does support attachments. Just be sure the heading "False Claim on YouTube" appears in the top field.
In that ticket, please provide the following:
- A brief explanation of how permission was granted
- A link to the YouTube video in question
- A file or link to documentation or a license for use
- The artist's contact information, screenshots or anything else that might help us determine that an agreement has been made between yourself and the artist.
If you believe the claim is false and our client does not have rights to the material:
Fill out this request form and make sure the top field says "False Claim on YouTube." Within that form please provide the following:
- A link to the YouTube video in question
- A brief explanation of why you believe the claim is invalid
- *It is highly recommended you provide a source link, license copy, contact info, or anything else that can help us determine how best to proceed
