It goes beyond that though - occasionally even when you have the explicit rights to use a piece of content, YouTube will prevent you from doing so. Comparatively rare to, e.g., not allowing for fair use, but it does happen.
- pdkl95 9y agoIt's not just fair use. Some people actually license music either direct from the musician or through a licensing service. Sometimes years later the video that used the music gets a copyright claim from someone else besides the actual musicians that wrote, performed, recorded, and licensed the song. Sometimes it's about a different version by a cover band, sometimes it's a business that blindly uploads their entire catalog into ContentID, sometimes it's a scammer uploading literally everything to they can hoping to get free ad revenue from whatever ContentID randomly selects.
