> Having the video taken down and reinstated does not reinstate the lost revenue. If disputed within 5 days, the money is held in escrow and disbursed upon rei

  If the video has been taken down, then the video earns no money, so there's nothing to be held in escrow.

    That's a valid point. I looked into that and it appears the policy says they'll put the video back up during the dispute but won't monetize it: "If the policy is set to block (don't allow users to view the video on YouTube) or track (allow users to view the video without advertisements), this policy may be temporarily lifted until your dispute is resolved. Learn more about policy and claim basics. During this time, your video cannot be monetized." https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2797454 https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2797454 (click "file a dispute", then "What happens after you dispute?" I believe I saw somewhere that monetization is the most common rather than block or track, but can't find it now.
