Content rights-holders can scan for infringing uses of songs in videos on the popular video-sharing network and block them from being played.</p> <p>When I received a message last week, though, I knew it was fishy: The video in question was one I created using iMovie for iOS, and I was certain I hadn't added anything but the stock music that shipped with the app.</p> <p>iMovie includes several themes, and in the first version of the software (called iMovie for iPhone then) the Modern theme used the song "1901" by Phoenix (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1901_(song)), instead of something Apple created. According to section 2.G of Apple's license to use iMovie (PDF) (http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/iMovie.pdf):</p>

<p>"Except as otherwise provided, all Sample Content included in the Apple Software may be used on a royalty-free basis in your own video projects but may not be distributed on a standalone basis."</p>

But if you do run into this situation, or something similar where you definitely own the rights or have a license to use disputed material, here's how to respond.</p> <ol><li>Click the link in the email that leads to the disputed video.</li> <li>At the YouTube page, click the File a Dispute link.
