Question: What happens to a channel when it receives a copyright takedown notice?

  • The offending video is removed and the channel loses its subscribers.
  • The offending video remains on the channel but is blocked in all countries.
  • The offending video is removed and the channel owner receives a copyright strike.
  • The offending video remains on the channel until the channel owner deletes it.

Explanation

A valid copyright removal request leads YouTube to remove the affected content. The channel then receives a copyright strike, which is different from a Content ID claim. One active strike can expire after 90 days if Copyright School is completed. Repeated active strikes can put the channel at risk of termination.

Why the other options are incorrect

Loses subscribers is incorrect because a copyright strike does not remove the channel’s subscriber base.

Blocked in all countries is incorrect because a takedown removes the content from YouTube rather than leaving it live with a worldwide block.

Owner deletes it is incorrect because YouTube removes the content after a valid removal request.
