I posted this video a while ago : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOffjiGXhBQ Today Youtube informs me that they matched a song to a song owned by a third party. All it asked me to do was to acknowledge or dispute it. Naturally I acknowledged it because Youtube was correct. But if I were to try to monetize the video, (not that I would, since I posted the video to prove a point, not to infringe or show off my "mad skillz") the money would go straight into Capcom's pocket. I should consider myself lucky that Youtube doesn't mute the audio.

Hate to break it to you, but from what I can tell it IS monetized by the Content-ID claimant.

As I just explained earlier, one of the things Content-ID can do to any video, monetized or not, is monetize the video regardless of your own settings and send all that money to the person/company claiming the matched content.
