Question: A user disputes a claim, after which you review the video and decide it should be removed from YouTube for using your copyrighted content. What happens if you select “takedown” on this disputed claim?
- The video is removed from search results but still published.
- A legal takedown notice is issued against this video.
- The request is forwarded to the partner manager for evaluation.
- The claim is released.
Explanation
Selecting takedown during a disputed Content ID claim submits a copyright removal request for the video. This escalates the matter from a claim workflow to YouTube’s legal copyright removal process. If the request is valid, the video is removed from YouTube. This action is different from simply upholding or releasing the claim.
Why the other options are incorrect
Search removal is incorrect because takedown removes the video rather than only hiding it from search.
Partner manager review is incorrect because takedown uses YouTube’s copyright removal process, not partner manager evaluation.
Claim released is incorrect because takedown escalates enforcement instead of releasing the disputed claim.
