Youtube WIN! (The Detention Club)

General
In a follow up to this post:
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7727497/
I tried to upload it AGAIN and.... BLOCKED AGAIN!
EAT. MY. SHORTS.
But this time it was for the 90 second clip in the beginning when the students are arriving at school.
Even though it is NOT the original audio and one scene in there is cropped.
I filed a dispute claiming fair use and...... I WON! Universal pictures released their copyright claim!
I got a response in just a few hours but I really wonder how this works.
Did YouTube REALLY call up Universal Pictures legal dept and explain what was I was doing and they said "Oh sure go ahead! We don't care!" ??????
So sometimes you CAN fight City Hall.
HOWEVER I will not release The Detention Club until late Summer as I might show it at AC because 2018 will be the 5 year anniversary.
WOW 5 years.

As for Looniversal themselves (sorry couldn't resist), who knows? But it's probably a YouTube moderator contradicting a decision made by a monitor bot most likely?
They decide fair use on how substantial the use is (90 seconds out of a 90 minute movie vs 89 minutes out of a 90 minute movie), the purpose (parody? news? critique? or just posting the video for viewing?), the nature (non fiction is fact and is hard to claim the fact as copyright, fiction is unique and copyrightable), and impact on the value to the rights holder (does your use compromise their ability to make an income? will that 90 second use mean they can't sell DVDs on Amazon on an old film?).
I suspect that rights holders are reducing the number of DMCA claims that are edge cases, because the harm is minimal, and the possibility for the Streisand effect to have negative PR in subcultures is high.
