Which policy is applied in a multi-claim scenario when partners have different match policies?

When multiple claims exist on a video and the partners involved have different match policies, YouTube's system defaults to applying the most restrictive policy. This ensures that the rights holder with the strictest requirements for their content is always respected. For example, if one claimant has a "Track" policy and another has a "Block" policy, YouTube will apply the "Block" policy to the video. The least restrictive policy would undermine the rights of the partner with stricter demands. Applying no policy would be a violation of copyright. While "Track" is a common policy, it is not universally applied in multi-claim scenarios if a more restrictive policy is present.
