Thanks for the explanation Thomas.
Youtube sent a message to my gmail account. (I never read my gmail,
only use
it as backup storage, so that's why I didn't see it.)
Youtube found a rap song that uses the same loop. It's likely that the
clip
I used was originally sampled from that song, but at the same time it's
not
unlikely that the rapper had taken the clip from another song.
Anyway, I've uploaded the video here:

Much better quality, and no ads.
I don't know the origin of the drum loop,
but that UMG all of a sudden heard about this video (there's only
been 9 views),
somehow recognized the short loop that's used in it from material
that
they have copyrighted, and then closed it down (only in germany),
and all within a time frame of two hours, sounds very unlikely to
me.
Youtube has an automated content matching system, which is known for
giving occasional false positives, like someone trying to claim bird
song field recordings as music off an album, or in my case one of the
more notable is one of the videos where I had a wireless mic short
out, and the brief period of pops, crackles, etc. apparently matched
a
recording of 'Burning Down the House'.
So probably what happened is that it came up with a match in the
automated system, whether it is correct or not I don't know. You can
say you disagree with it should you choose through Youtube's
interface, and give a reason. It may or may not make much
difference, so think about it carefully.
