TL;DR: for a whole decade YouTube allowed a copyright troll to claim all the rights on a recording of a washing machine end cycle chime

The account of the copyright troll is still standing and it's not permanently banned

IMHO in this case YouTube should permanently ban at the first offense any copyright troll that maliciously claim as their property something that's in the public domain

Also: if it wasn't that it affected a big streamer with lots of followers, YouTube would have ignored the problem

What does someone have to do to prove to youtube they own it?

From what I saw that you just need to claim it by stating that's yours, only risking to get sued by the original owner.

In 2021, YouTube announced that it had invested "hundreds of millions of dollars" to create content management tools, of which Content ID quickly emerged as the platform's go-to solution to detect and remove copyrighted materials.

Content ID was introduced in 2021? Only 3 years ago? I thought it was significantly older.

Wikipedia says 2007.

Dunno if they meant something different or typoed the year.

Or they just made an announcement in 2021 about their existing content management tools and how much they've spent on them over the years. That's how I read it anyway.
