No scam?

Otherwise, take it down, change the music, reupload ?

Somthing dodgey going on there. I'd leave it and see what happens. Push comes to shove do what Meifesto suggests

I'm with Meifesto - find free music and reupload. Youtube has a whole section of stuff that works, or if you have a feidn that makes music use their stuff with their permission or search around the web for free, open source sites to get music from.

You will have to remove the music if you want audio, as said, if you can re-upload it with different music or no music

Has the copyright claim come though YouTube or not.

If it hasn't just ignore it.

Thank you for the replies!!

no, it is not through youtube he authorised a company... under the song description he mentions

LICENSING / USE OF MY MUSIC

These will no longer be handled by myself. And he refers you to the company.

i contacted them cause the music has really inspired me to create a video. It is not actually a motovlog but a travel vlog video and I will upload it here as well so that you can watch it. I want to dedicate it to solo fem travellers like me and empower weak women, so it is important for me to have this song since it has influenced me. On the other side, I respect the composer's will to bind his music with a company...It is a really nice song and should be paid and get attention but I am an amateur with few views and the money they ask is beyond reality....so let's see..maybe i will upload it with respect to the composer and then take it down and cover it with another song...

It might be worth looking to see if that song is blocked in any countries by YouTube too as that will limit your audience if it is!

Then it feels like a scam to be honest.

Normally they will handle it through youtube.
