Probably because I just made that shit up.

To follow up to this comment, I have licenses for a lot of the content I use on my youtube channel and it is STILL flagged and taken down by the contentID system. I have re-submitted these licenses literally hundreds of time for the same games and music and they STILL get flagged and taken down by the contentID system.

Automated, proactive, "guilty until proven innocent" systems for things like this are ludicrous and an absolute nightmare to the end-user. To mute out entire 30 min segments of videos for a short music clip seems ridiculous. If the tech exists to detect the music playing, I can't imagine that the tech to simply mute that segment of the video doesn't exist.

edit: To clarify a couple of things - My videos have never been taken down, only de-monetized(so far). I've heard that they can be taken down or even become a copyright strike against your channel(3 strikes and your channel is permanently disabled. Since I make a living on youtube, you can imagine how pants-shitting scary that is). I've never had this happen to me.

The easy solution to this issue would be for youtube to actually be proactive and have some 2 sorts of licensing repositories: 1) I submit a license once and it's permanently on my account as licensed; 2) One just like the contentID system, but for stuff that's actually allowed. There are many games that have public online licenses like WoW and ArmA and Minecraft, but those videos still get flagged.

I've submitted this idea to youtube several times.
