The source material discusses the ongoing **YouTube copyright dispute** between creator Rick Beato and Universal Music Group (UMG), focusing on the alleged **weaponisation of Content ID claims** by major record labels to seize video monetisation from creators. A ”Top Music Attorney” video transcript details how Beato is receiving numerous, often repeated, claims on his educational videos, despite previously winning a fair use dispute on a specific track, demonstrating how UMG is allegedly **ignoring YouTube’s claim resolution policies**. The attorney explains the **four factors of fair use** in copyright law, empowering creators to understand and file counter-notifications, arguing that these labels are employing **bully tactics** to force creators to surrender revenue rather than risk escalating to the severe Stage 2 counter-notification process. Beato himself confirms he is fighting these claims to **raise awareness** for smaller creators, noting that while he is frustrated, he is relying on others to file potential lawsuits.
