Ever since I wrote about my experience with Believe Music’s fake copyright claims on my YouTube videos, I’ve had MANY of you reach out to me privately with your own stories.

Dear Mrs Jackie M,
We have been informed of a YouTube Content Id problem that affects your videos.
Do not hesitate to dispute a claim that you found invalid via your video manager. Our dedicated team is managing it daily. It’s a priority to us.
We also wanted to give you context on the reasons that led this situation.
Believe acts as distributor for artists and labels who have asserted to us full ownership and control of the music they submitted to us.
Some “artists” have managed to pass our control process.
Thanks to you, we have been alerted of the serious problem we had with this label. That is why we are not claiming any of your videos anymore.
We fixed the problem and removed all content of this label from YouTube.
Do not hesitate if you have further question or doubts.
