I have never really been a fan of the YouTube Audio library, a bunch of channels use the same music and I think it subtracts from the video when another video you seen earlier has the same music. I know there's paid libraries of royalty free music, but even then they still get claimed so got to dispute it but it seems some of those libraries have their own form or canned message to paste in to help. I know I've even heard Apple Loops from Garageband get claimed too even those you are licensed to use them. Even public domain NASA clips got someone flagged, because some news company used them in their broadcasts. Then fair use isn't always considered too, like if you were walking and a little bit of music was picked up in the background of your vlog, say maybe from a car driving by blasting loud music. I know with the DMCA there's legal penalties for filing false ones, but Content ID isn't considered a DMCA, so why it doesn't count as a strike unless you disputed it and then the company can then create a DMCA actually reviewing. Really feel like automated technology for policing isn't really ready yet, even flaws in red light cameras.

There are no legal penalties just for filing false claims, only if it's false and made in bad faith. This is an important distinction because "I hold the copyright and disagree that the usage qualifies for fair-use protections" probably doesn't fall into the category of "bad faith"

  What makes it bad faith is: > I own the copyright and will use an automated system to spam massive amounts of complaints to anything that even remotely looks like my content without even thinking about whether it's fair use > sending these complaints costs nothing for me and require lengthy appeals and manual review for the affected party who will likely face reductions in revenue in the mean time > if someone successfully appeals the complaint I'll just send it again until they tire of it because I suffer no consequences
