    Copyright claim on my video. What now?

    Today I was notified by Youtube that there is a copyright claim against my video. I compiled the video from several sources, so noone has an exclusive right to say they own all my video content. I would not mind editing my video to comply with TOS. Youtube won't tell me which part of my video is in copyright violation, so I can't be sure who has a claim against me. What now?

    You might have no choice but to take the video down or have it deleted by Youtube.

    You might do as you suggested, which is to edit out the content under review and then resubmit the video in a new form with alternate content.

    Don't risk losing your entire account over just one or two videos, no matter how sentimental you are over your creation. Take the video off Youtube before you are banned.

    We had an experience with the copyright. The most common is using a copyrighted song for the background. Would you believe that the "Happy Birthday" song is copyrighted? So if you use that for your video's soundtrack or if there is a portion in your video that people are singing that song then your video falls under that possible copyright infringement so it will not be qualified to be monetized. The prevention to that issue is to compose your own song or soundtrack so there will not be any problem about copyright.
