Uncle Al

As expected, my appeal was denied for a copyright claim on a song used in "SpongeBob Crashes Out". That leaves me between a rock and a hard place. I can either remove the video, change the audio and reupload, but that will likely kill all the momentum it has, or remove the part entirely, but that removes the entire first minute of the video. I want to gather some feedback before I make any decisions.

No, appeal the rejected dispute, if it falls under fair use you have the right to deny them. It’s happened to me many times when a dispute gets rejected, despite it falling under fair use. A lot of times, there are scammers that pose on behalf of the big media corps to steal revenue but as soon as they are threatened to court they back off. I haven’t had a single rejected dispute that I appealed, get rejected a second time.

They claimed it. It’s canon now. SpongeBob killed everyone

Jesus, for a second I thought Nickelodeon copyright claimed the video. Had to read twice, I went "No way this is canon now?"

YouTube hates music apparently.

I think you should still appeal it. Don’t lose your original view count over one minute. If you think cutting one whole minute is worth it, then go for it. But Gibbson said the idea of standing your ground and appeal may reveal if it is really the company flagging or someone impersonating them.

Removing the copyrighted part will make unrewatchable. It may lose momentum, but people like me will rewatch it dozens of time.

Your Krusty Chronicles compilation has the music at the end muted and it really lowers the quality of that portion. Maybe you can reupload SpongeBob Crashes Out and get a short out of the new audio as well

Appeal the dispute, man. It's technically fair use, so it should go through.

I'd appeal. I had a WWE SvR video falsely blocked by the WWE even though it had never used footage from them. My appeal worked and the video was reinstated

would using YouTube Audio Library music work as the solution?
