Question: A user disputes a claim, because the matched segment actually comes from public domain footage. What happens when you select “Release and Exclude” on this disputed claim?
- Performance data is excluded from YouTube Analytics reports.
- The claim is released and an exclusion on the underlying reference file is created.
- Underlying reference data is removed to prevent future claims.
- A legal takedown notice is issued to the user who uploaded the content.
Explanation
Release and exclude claim is used when the matched portion should not continue producing claims from the reference. This action ends the disputed Content ID claim on the uploader’s video. It also excludes the matched segment from the underlying reference so future matches are not based on that invalid material. This is appropriate when the segment comes from content that is not eligible for exclusive matching.
Why the other options are incorrect
Performance data is incorrect because the action affects claim status and reference matching, not Analytics reporting.
Underlying reference data is incorrect because only the matched segment is excluded, not all reference data.
Legal takedown notice is incorrect because release and exclude does not submit a copyright removal request.
