That's decidedly not the problem here. They didn't confuse my recording for a copyrighted performance. The claim was that I used a copyrighted melody in an original performance --- but the melody is public domain.
- TonyTrapp 5y agoOut of curiosity, what were those four strikes then, if not for four different copyrighted performances of the work? From my understanding of how ContentID works, matches are always done against recordings provided by copyright holders, and not against abstract melodies.

Keep in mind that compositions and performances have separate copyrights and often separate owners! Compositions have to be registered separately in content ID. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2822002?hl=en https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2822002?hl=en What happened was that each song was correctly identified by its melody and matched with an entry in the composition database, even though the compositions are clearly public domain.
