The rumblefish page that your reference is full of half-truths and outright lies. Rumblefish’s disclaimer: “The FAQ does not reflect the opinions of YouTube, Google, it’s subsidiaries or affiliates and has been created entirely by and is property of Rumblefish in an effort to help answer questions for YouTube users who receive Content ID claims from YouTube for music content represented by Rumblefish on behalf of its content providers, including record labels, music publishers, artists, writers and estates.”

But if we just look at the section germane to the OP’s question that is Number 4: “…If you believe one of the following facts to be true, you should dispute the claim and it will be reviewed within 48 hours: a) the YouTube Content ID system has misidentified the music in your video as a song you did not include in the flagged video or b) you own the identified music content that has been claimed outright and have not designated a third party to claim and monetize the content in the YouTube Content ID system.”

So the OP filed a dispute. Rumblefish DID NOT actually review the video or they would have seen the absurdly obvious Content ID error. They merely confirmed the match without reviewing the video. I’ll give you a quote from an old rumblefish FAQ that is no longer included in the current FAQ.” What if I dispute my claim? Our default policy is to reinstate claims since 99% of the time we do have the right to monetize the video since it contains one our songs. Again, your video will not be taken down.”

My guess is that they have not changed their default policy.
