This was further confirmed by CEO Susan Wojcicki by quoting the example of Despacito which has been watched by more than 5 billion times since uploaded in January.
"The video contains multiple copyrights, ranging from sound recording to publishing rights.

That uncertainty means we might have to block videos like this to avoid liability under article 13."YouTube further stated that it will not only affect YouTube but it will also hit the content creator as well that may lead to bankruptcy.
