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?
Say they do
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.
Brb, claiming bird voices
