RE: YouTube states that video about charity is not suitable for advertisers
Youtube has weird politics. When I uploaded my video last night, I got a warning that someone claimed the copyright over it. It was the recording studio of the music I used on the background. I already had an agreement with the artist about it and it turned out that it is an aytomated system. What bothered me is that beacause of this, add started showing during the video and all funds from them will go to the record company. What the actual f? The artist then explained that it can not be fixed, as he has to reject the copyright over the song in order to stop the madness. So if the video gets viral he will make money on my back. What a shame :(
It can be fixed :)
There are options to resolve the issue - the rights owner can remove the claim only for your video.
You can contact AdRev support and let them know that you have the owner’s permission (or license) to use the music.
You could also file a dispute on YouTube. That is the slowest way.
Here is a good post on how to resolve issues like yours :

There is just one thing.. sometimes the artist doesn't have the copyright to their works... it goes to the producers, recording studio etc. Then his/her permission may not be enough.
If the artist has the rights, the studio is another entity and is monetizing the artist's work, he/she could file a claim against them :)

Thanks :) I will give it a try.
Better the artist than a third party.
The problem is that in your case it would be fair for you to split the money, and I don't know if there is such option for YouTube...
