YouTube jump first and ask questions later.

I have purchased the royalty free rights to a significant number of commercial backing tracks which my company uses in video promotional material. Another big and very well known music company apparently owns the company that I purchased the royalty free music rights from.

Some of the music phrases I use may only be seconds long.

Whenever a new video is placed on YouTube, almost immediately I get a challenge that I have violated copyright owned by that big music company. I explain that I have purchased the rights, with proof and the challenge is removed, but this usually takes several days.

What is amazing is how quickly that audio is analyzed. Their reference library and comparison software must incredible.

What is most annoying is that YouTube determine that I am guilty until I prove I am innocent.
