If i produce a track licenced as cc0 can someone put their copyright on it?

Yep

The person who associated a work with this deed has dedicated the work to the public domain by waiving all of his or her rights to the work worldwide under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights, to the extent allowed by law.

You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.

Thanks for reply.
What I meant example: Someone uses my cc0 track on You Tube but copyrights it so that others trying to use the track get copyright strike? Is there a fix. Are people allowed to copyright my cc0 work?

Best Regards

To the best of my knowledge; I assume that your file is the oldest and it is cc0.

Others may invoke it in a claim.

You don't understand @klankbeeld

Clacksberg's track Cosmic Minimal = https://freesound.org/people/Clacksberg/sounds/506324/ is on YouTube on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y41n_cmlKY

Cosmic Minimal is releases as CC0.

But the above YouTube user who is using this track is sending copyright notice to other users who upload their videos with this music.

This is the problem. How can it be solved?

Thank you

The youtuber can do whatever he wants to do with a cc0 file. He can make money with it, say he is the composer, whatever.
He can send copyright notice to every one. But…… the original and oldest sound is from clackberg and is cc0. So the people who receive the youtuber’s claim can say that it is not the youtubers file and point to clacksberg’s older file that is cc0.

Study this; https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/

CC0 means everybody has nonexclusive copyrights, somebody can't claim that they have exclusive copyright.
