Received a copyright claim for using Unminus Music on YouTube?

No worries — here’s an easy fix:

You shouldn’t get a copyright claim if you add the Whitelisting ID before publishing your video.

But if there’s still an issue or you forgot it initially— no worries, here’s what to do: 👇

‍

How do I fix the YouTube Copyright Claim?

1. Add the Whitelisting ID "756E6D69-6E757300" anywhere o your video description.‍
2. Dispute the claim:
   → Go to YouTube Studio and Find the video; Click "Dispute" and follow the process (see Screenshots below)
   → In the “Notes” section write something like: "This video uses Unminus music and includes the whitelisting ID in the description."‍
3. Done! The claim will be automatically dropped within 72 hours if everything’s correct.
   

✔️ No legal stress ✔️ No complicated forms ✔️ You stay monetized

‍

Why did I get a copyright claim?

Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes:

• We add Unminus tracks to YouTube’s Content ID system → to protect artists from misuse.
• YouTube scans your video and detects the track → but it needs to find the whitelisting ID in your description.
• If it doesn’t find the ID, it automatically issues a claim.
• Your video may get demonetized or flagged until that’s resolved.
  

So yeah — it’s not a bug, it’s a system thing as long as we are looking for even more simple processes.

‍

I still got a claim?!

Here’s why it might still trigger:

• ❌ Claim came from something other than Unminus Music
• ❌ You made a typo in the Whitelisting ID
• ❌ You used the music outside the Unminus license → Check the rules

Why does the claim say "We Are Era Music"?

We partner with We Are Era Music and are working together to find the most convenient solution for everyone.

I am Using Unminus for Business (API) - how does that work?

If you’re using the Unminus Business API, here’s how whitelisting works:

• Email info@unminus.com with your License ID (from your API purchase)
• We’ll send you your personal Business Whitelisting ID
• All your client videos must include this ID in their description before uploading to YouTube → then they’re auto-whitelisted
• To solve it afterwards, same process above applies.

A fully automatic solution is in the making.
