Honest question - when the creators know the bad behavior of Disney/Sony etc, why poke them at all? What is the point of using their music, even if it is used in good faith for just 5 seconds? I've seen a handful of primitive tech guy's videos, they are some of the most enjoyable videos on Youtube. There are very few videos where using someone else's music is a must, most videos are better off without these bad actors' music

Many creators don't want to use music claimed by the big names, but they might not have a choice. For example, footage used in a review (say a clip of a TV show) necessarily comes with any background music. If the TV show is using licensed music in that scene, it then shows up in the Youtube video. Even real-life, vlog-style footage can have unsolicited music. There's also a full spectrum of Content ID claims that are frivolous because of over-matching. Even public-domain footage (especially video) can be claimed. For example, if a news agency uploads its own news report to the Content ID system for matching but that news report contains public-domain material such as a NASA video, that raw video itself can be reported as 'matching' in other uses. Whether this effect is malicious or unintentional is a subject of debate.

  This sounds like Monsanto seeds being blown in from the neighbour's field and getting sued by Monsanto.

The world is filled with Disney/Sony etc.'s music and if you are recording anything out in the world there's a chance that it will get included in the background.

> Honest question - when the creators know the bad behavior of Disney/Sony etc, why poke them at all? My original video of an art exhibition got taken down because clapping in the video matched some rapper's song that Universal Music owns. What do you recommend me to do to "not poke" Disney/Sony/etc?
