How come nonecopyrighted music gets treated like copyrighted?
I have loads of videos featuring my friends music that they have uploaded youtube with creative commons license. And when i applied for monetising i even wrote thei and my contact information and information about the music aswell. Still i didnt get any advertising because youtube failed to determine if it was copyrighted.

What can i do in this situation?
