It’s been going on for a long time on YouTube.
Copyright trolls who do NOT own the music copyright make copyright claims on YouTube so they can put paid ads on your content.
Keep reading and watching so you know what to do!
YouTube tries to filter valid copyright claims but copyright scammers often try and claim copyright on music compositions that are in the public domain.
The way they do it, is they claim fake companies like Public Domain Records or copyright claim a song because someone recorded a cover song on a recording and so they use that to claim copyright on your cover song!
This happened to me on my classical recordings from The Queen of the Night Aria recording and also my O Holy Night tutorial.
As of today, all works from 1928 and before are in public domain. https://web.law.duke.edu/cspd/publicdomainday/2023/
So when copyright trolls try and take your ad revenue by claiming copyright, you know what to do.
Dispute it!
