Music licensed from Adobe Stock claimed by CD Baby on YouTube

I just uploaded my YouTube video using tracks from Adobe Stock that I properly licensed. However, one track got flagged for copyright claim by CD Baby for a different song. I have disputed the claim stating that the track actually comes from a song in Adobe Stock and provided the Adobe license code. Hours passed and they still didn't respond. I'm kinda nervous right now.

I also wrote to CD Baby directly and provided them the link to the Adobe Stock music that I used and politely stated that they misclaimed a song in my video. I also wrote to FineTune music who actually owns the song hoping that they will contact CD Baby and challenge their claim. Meanwhile, if CD Baby doesn't do anything, I will have to wait 30 days for this claim to drop.

Do you have any similar experiences? Do you think I will win this dispute because I hope to monetize my video on YouTube as well. Any additional comments or advice are appreciated. Thank you!

On YouTube there is a procedure where you can enter a key to prove your licence. https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2020/06/16/adobe-stock-audio-content-id-claims

Same thing happing to me. YouTube flagged my video for Copywrite issue. I disputed the claim and sent them my Asset Number. Epidemic Sound disputed the license number and Youtube sided with them. Why am I paying for a license that's no good?

A tactic I have used in the past is to reach out to Epidemic Sound directly with your license info and send them an envoice for $100 (nominal fee) for music license/library research. I got BMG to drop a claim and Sony actually called me. Sony was surprisingly nice. YouTube dropped the claim in both instances. To date I have never had a claimant pay the fee. But it gets their attention.

That's a nice idea.

If they paid, you could create a business model out of that. 😂

Just to add to the thread. I went and review the song that CD Baby actually claimed and they are virtually the same song! I don't know who have the actual rights, so to be save, I just deleted the video, put in a new song and reupload it.
