Question: While reviewing disputes, you see a disputed claim from an uploader who has obtained a valid license. What should you do?
- Release the claim
- Release the claim and exclude the segment from matching
- Reinstate the claim
- Takedown
Explanation
A valid license means the uploader has permission to use the claimed content. In the Content ID dispute workflow, the claim should be released when the rights holder no longer needs to enforce it against that video. Releasing the claim stops the applied match policy from controlling the upload. This resolves the dispute without changing the underlying reference for other videos.
Why the other options are incorrect
Release and exclude is incorrect because exclusion is used when the reference segment should not generate future matches.
Reinstate is incorrect because it continues enforcing the claim despite the uploader’s valid license.
Takedown is incorrect because a licensed use should not be escalated to a copyright removal request.
