YouTube says that, I&#x27;ve seen no evidence that they&#x27;ve <i>ever</i> actually punished a false claim, or even prevented that false claim from happening again.<p>For example, a video of mine was ContentID claimed for a public domain piece of classical music. I successfully contested the claim (the scammers give up quickly because their bread-and-butter is the 95% of victims who YouTube scared away from the &quot;contest claim&quot; button, or who never revisit the video page after posting). About a month later, I re-edited the same video and re-uploaded it, and I got the <i>same</i> fraudulent strike from the <i>same</i> scammer that I&#x27;d already successfully contested.
