Back in July I saw an article[1] which mentioned Youtube will introduce a new system where copyright holders would have to specify specifically which part of the video had the copyright infringing content. This seems like a good solution since it makes it harder to just sling copyright claims left and right, and make it so entire videos don't get taken down. Unfortunately it looks like either it was never introduced, or did not end up working as hoped. -- [1] https://www.engadget.com/2019/07/10/youtube-copyright-claim-...

Some commenters here seem to know which part of their video was flagged, so it sounds like it was implemented and had no effect.
