What happens to a Short over one minute that has a Content ID claim, and why can an artist's own label block it?

Problem. Longer Shorts are treated more strictly than sub-minute ones when a claim lands. Conditions. Short longer than 1 minute with an active copyright claim of any type, including manual claims. Method. It is blocked globally: not playable or recommended on YouTube and not monetisable, with no channel penalty; remove the claimed content or dispute the claim, after which the Short is viewable and monetisable. Sub-minute Shorts keep the earlier rules. Artist channels linked to a label can be blocked by a first-party claim the label creates automatically when a 1-3 minute Short uses label music synced offline; the fix is asking the label to release it. Failure modes. A 90-second Short with a minor claim disappears rather than carrying ads. Limitations. Page does not say how long a dispute takes (see C3-B731-06) or whether a Short is blocked in the Shorts feed only. Version and date. Undated; Official Artist Channel date 8 Dec 2025 as stated. Curator qualifications: All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; no video sources. Limitations: Whether the 'no penalty' statement covers every claim type is as stated on the page only; the page mixes standard and Official Artist rules in one FAQ. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
