IF ANYONE HAS PROBLEM WITH THIS AND IT DOESN'T WORK, MAIL ME INSTEAD OF WRITING IN THE COMMENTS, PLEASE.

This is the step-by-step process to get your audio back:

1) Go to "My Videos".
2) Select "Resolve Copyright" on the video you are having copyright issues with. OR, go to the video itself and choose "resolve copyright" from there.
3) Scroll down and pick the option "I want to learn more about this dispute process".
4) Scroll down and pick the option "Take me to the dispute form".
5) Pick option #2 and PASTE the following statement into the text bar next to it;

"Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use."

6) Fill out the rest of the info on the page. Use your REAL name where it asks for it. Choose "Continue" when all information has been filled out.
7) Scroll down on the next page and select "Submit dispute".

Within 2-3 minutes your video's audio should be back!

  • This may be an extremely stupid question but does what your telling me to copy and paste work if I live in the united kingdom and not the US?

  • @walrein947 It should work anywhere in the world :)

  • I did it and it worked, but I can't upload video more than 15 minutes anymore X(

  • @GamerXZ95 As I said, it doesnt always work... It depends on what kind of video.

  • i've had a form submitted for 3 months and still no response, this is ridiculous.

  • @TheBlackBritt As I said, it doesnt always work... It depends on what kind of video.

  • Does anyone know if once you have done the above steps and you have had success.... then the company in question does it again with a claim on the visual of the video.... is there a way to get around that? There is no 'dispute' option to click on this time around... bastards!

  • @markuscc I know it really pisses me off!!!

  • This worked thank you but then the company filed another claim for visual contents. I know I used a music video but seriously. It's for non profit. Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976!!!

  • I used this once already and it got disabled. will it work again?

  • Why the hell is WMG so intent on getting rid of what amounts to million dollars of free advertisement for them? Are they seriously that stupid? Do they think people sit around with tape recorders recording music off of youtube so they wont have to buy the album?

  • I don't understand about which song you are complaining, you should write the name of the band and the singer because I can easily put another song, thanks

  • @Moomme93 SAME THING.

  • OMG... thank you thank you thank you :D worked in like 2 mins. love you <3
