Youtube: Matched Third Party Content?

My youtube video views were rising quickly and suddenly I got the message from youtube saying "Matched Third Party Content" Does this affect the views in any way because ever since, the views stopped going up and I know for a fact it's been viewed more!

Update:

The copyright is because I'm using a song, a lot of people use songs in their videos though..

    You uploaded a video with copyrighted material on Youtube and its program detected it. What that means you may be hit with a copyright strike once the copyright holder notifies Youtube about this matter at any time. Unless you want a copyright strike on your account and face potential legal action from the owner, please consider taking it down right now.

    Remember just because other people are doing this doesn't mean you can do the same. It'll be a matter of time before they will get their accounts suspended for this. Never upload someone else's content without their authorization or you must have the legal authority to do so. It's just like stealing material from the big entertainment companies without even paying for it.

    Videos with 300-320 or more views freeze and are only updated once or twice a day max. This is normal YT practice. The fact that is it copyright though means that your could get a copyright strike at any time so beware. 3 and you lose everything.

    Sorry, but if it has matched third party content you should take the video down or you might get sued by whoever owns the content
