Has anyone dealt with copyright right strikes and getting them retracted for concert footage?
I post a lot of concert footage that I shoot myself.
Whenever I post footage I usually get the content ID claim but not told to delete them as it is usually said that there is no copyright strike and the claimant is owning the footage which is fine.
But just yesterday I got 3 strikes for all the videos from a particular concert that was posted back in April. They split the strikes up 1 for 3 video, and 2 for 5 videos each. All the same claimant. I emailed them seeking to retract as it terminated my channel.
Has anyone had any luck trying to contact claimants and getting strikes retracted? If I can only get one strike removed then I can get my channel back.
It's very strange because I saw that there are other YouTube channels that have the exact same songs from the same Florence and the Machine show I went to. So why were mine suddenly taken down?
I was wondering if it was because I had a recent YouTube partnership review that was denied for reused content. But I assumed it was for movie clips, not concert footage. As I know many channels are strictly concert footage channels and I see a lot with thousands of subscribers and views. I'm still a growing channel and recently just got to 880 subs which is even more disappointing if I can't get these strikes removed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! 🙏🏻
