Keep in mind that you should only dispute a claim if you're confident that you have all the necessary rights to use the claimed content. Repeated or malicious abuse of the dispute process can result in penalties against your video or channel.
A Content ID claim is automatically generated when an uploaded video matches another video (or segment of a video) in YouTube's Content ID system. Depending on the copyright owner's Content ID settings, Content ID claims can: Block a video from being viewed.
YouTube now offers a tool called "assisted trim" that allows you to cut out the offending section of the video, mute the audio, or replace the copyrighted audio with audio you have owned or properly licensed. It also provides information on the party that filed the claim and the actions you need to take to resolve it.
