YouTube copyrighted material...

Just thought this was interesting: I put up a YouTube of my band playing a cover (September) and soon after get a message saying that the copyright holders have noticed, and don't want me to take it down, but may in the future monetise it for themselves by putting adverts on it. Not sure if I feel bad for publishing a cover (not monetised though) or used by the copyright holder?! Will they be coming to gigs next with Coke banners?

I'm sure you will be able to find somewhere you can challenge this. I had this same thing with a track I wrote, played and recorded myself, so no copyright for anyone. I have also had it on other videos I've posted and challenged the claim. Within seconds I have had an email saying the claim has been withdrawn. I think it is YouTube's cheeky way of putting ads in front of videos in the hope that most will not challenge it. Try the challenge and see what happens.
