  • Question
    After I remove the song that was causing the copyright infringement, can I monetize my video again?
    Community Answer
    Yes, because if you remove the copyrighted song, the claim from the claimant will also be removed, thus you can monetize the video again.

    Generally, it would again be automatically blocked and you may be awarded a strike, not to mention potentially sued for copyright infringement. If you're making a profit from it, you can also face criminal charges. You still need to deal with why someone else is claiming to own the copyright to your works.

    No, there is no such rule. In the USA, for instance, you could be sued for using a single chord from a famous song if it's recognizable, e.g., the opening 3-guitar chord of "Hard Day's Night", by the Beatles.
