Owners can change their mind about how their content is displayed on YouTube. For this reason, creating completely original content is the best protection against copyright infringement claims.
"How do I get permission to use someone else's song, images or footage in my video?
If you plan to include copyright-protected material in your video, you will need to seek permission to do so first. YouTube cannot grant you these rights and we are unable assist you in finding and contacting the parties who may be able to grant them to you. This is something you’ll have to research and handle on your own or with the assistance of a lawyer.
YouTube cannot grant you the rights to use content that has already been uploaded to the site. If you wish to use someone else’s YouTube video, you may want to reach out to them via our messaging feature.
I have permission to use this content. Why was it removed?
If you have cleared the rights to use certain copyright-protected material in your video, you may want to alert the original content owner of your video's title and URL on YouTube, to avoid a mistaken removal.
If your video was removed in error, you have the option to request a retraction from the claimant or submit a counter notification. Content ID matches may be disputed as well.
Before you issue a dispute, you may want to ask yourself a few questions to make sure it’s a valid dispute:
Are you the copyright owner of the material in your video?
Do you have permission to all third-party material in your video from the appropriate copyright owner(s)?
Should your use of copyrighted material be considered a fair use or fair dealing under the applicable copyright law?
If one of the conditions above applies to your video, you may want to research the most appropriate dispute process or consult an attorney. If not, you may be in violation of copyright laws."
