A Content ID claim on your BGM: the records worth keeping first
A claim can arrive even after you checked permission. Reading the notice and preserving the relevant records helps you explain what happened before choosing a response.
Read the type of notice first
YouTube distinguishes a Content ID claim from a copyright strike. Start with the notice type, matched recording, time range and stated effect on the video.
A song title alone may not identify the disputed audio. Keep the video URL, claimant, matched range, notice date and a screenshot so they can be compared with production records.
The download record provides context
The track URL, acquisition date, license consulted and usage location help trace the asset. A public credit and a record of permission serve different purposes.
When contacting Kominami, include both the track and video URLs. Its license prohibits users from registering catalog tracks in Content ID; responding to a claim does not grant permission to register the music yourself.
Check before submitting a dispute
YouTube says that crediting an owner or possessing a copy alone does not justify a dispute. Check the required rights and the actual notice against its current official instructions.
These notes help organize information; they cannot determine whether an individual claim is mistaken or promise its release. Follow the official help and license links when assessing your own notice.
