Question: YouTube receives a legal notice to take down a video uploaded by a creator without the copyright owner's permission. What will the creator receive?
- Warning of possible account termination if copyright abuse continues
- Instructions for contacting the copyright owner to obtain a license
- Notice to mediate the dispute or face legal fines
- A document to fill out to file an appeal
Explanation
A valid copyright removal request is handled through YouTube’s copyright enforcement process. When the request is processed, the upload is removed and the channel receives a copyright strike. Repeated copyright strikes can lead to channel termination under YouTube’s copyright strike system. This outcome is separate from Content ID, which applies claims without automatically creating strikes.
Why the other options are incorrect
License instructions are incorrect because YouTube does not resolve a takedown by directing the uploader to obtain a license.
Mediation notice is incorrect because YouTube’s copyright process does not require mediation before enforcement.
Appeal document is incorrect because the relevant response process is a counter notification, not a general appeal form.
