Help SAVE a YT Channel: Copyright Claim Danger & Partner Program

Jun '23 (edited) in Other

Maybe the core here, is a need to reach Youtube Support systems, but I'll share the whole situation here with the community, to help the situation get as much help as it can get.

This situation involves:

(apparently) 𝑤𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑓𝑢𝑙 copyright infringement claims
monetization issues
partnership program issues

Although this is one specific situation & technically not a re: a synthesizing channel,

𝗦𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

My friend has the top channel for Persian / Iranian music karaoke
apparently with all the licenses to work with the content in this way
false copyright claims destroy this
(To my understanding) being accepted into YT partner program can fix this
Despite apparently strongly over-qualifying for the partnership program, my friend was rejected for "not having a unique product" despite using multiple pieces of technology (from his own system) including AI to create NEW sound files (based on the licenses they obtained) with the vocals removed and adding (+) karaoke-stylized lyrics & (+) high-quality background footage
Now getting these (apparently false) copyright claims is temporarily disabling the channel as he goes through the review process, and threatens potentially total removal of the channel. 😬
This is not the first time that channel has had to deal with this! 𝑌𝑖𝑘𝑒𝑠!

I thank

As I thought about this a little more (and wanting to move the ball quickly) I decided to post here, though, because I 𝑻𝑯𝑰𝑵𝑲 it's an issue of communications rather than legal.

Maybe Tyler, you have some general insight to offer for all channels for situations like this-- 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘢 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘧𝘪𝘹 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵, 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦.

We currently suspect the current situation may be more likely one of 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗨𝗕𝗘'𝘀 𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 for 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 rather than automated review --- which is where we think the link in the chain is (to getting all of this sorted out properly).

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹 is to get the channel back up... under their control, and to protect it moving forward.

That's about all, everyone.

I'm interested to hear your thoughts. 🙏
