You are absolutely correct. You Tube thought the music was from an individual recording which it specified. However, after I listened to that recording, which I found on You Tube, it was obviously not a direct match. The list of available music provided by the hotel was all public domain.
The worst aspect of this was the dispute process. It seems all the other failings were at least reasonably founded.
YouTube vs. Fair Use
In YouTube: The Big Copyright Lie, I described my love-hate relationship with YouTube, at least as it existed in way back in the dark ages of 2007. Now think back through all the videos you've watched on YouTube. How many of them contained any original content? It's perhaps the ultimate case...
I was unable to upload my wedding video to You Tube. It contained Beethoven's 9th symphony. Ironically, we choose this piece from a list of material provided by the hotel (Las Vegas) that was not copyright protected. I submitted a dispute with You Tube, but it was rejected. Since I was unable to use You Tube to share this video with family and friends, I have since become embittered with You Tube and do not have much faith other similar services. It seems the root of the problem is deeper than these sites are willing to address.
