Question: If a content owner in a multi-claim scenario chooses Takedown, what is the resulting action?
- The uploader has 30 days to respond to the takedown request.
- YouTube removes the video.
- The video is blocked for that content owner's territories of ownership.
- The other content owners are notified of a pending takedown.
Explanation
A Takedown is a copyright removal action, not a territorial match policy action. When YouTube receives a valid copyright removal request, the video is removed from YouTube. This outcome applies to the video itself rather than only the claimant’s ownership territories. It is different from Block, which can restrict viewing by territory through Content ID.
Why the other options are incorrect
30 days to respond applies to the Content ID dispute process, not a valid copyright removal request.
Blocked in ownership territories describes a Block policy, not a Takedown.
Pending takedown notice is not the resulting action because a valid removal request removes the video.
