Content ID is a powerful system used on YouTube to protect your music and ensure its rightful ownership and monetization. Here's how it works:
1. Prevent Song Theft: Content ID ensures that your song cannot be stolen or used without authorization. If someone tries to upload or release your song on YouTube without your permission, Content ID identifies and flags it.
2. Automatic Claims: When your music is detected in a video, YouTube automatically places a claim on it. This ensures that your rights are protected without any manual intervention.
3. Control Over Unauthorized Use: If someone uses your song without permission and wants to monetize their channel, they will have to remove your music or accept the claim. This discourages unauthorized usage of your content.
4. Revenue Collection: If the unauthorized user does not remove your song, you will receive all the revenue generated from that video. This revenue is collected and
distributed through your distributor, such as One Music Records.
5. Easy Monetization: By using Content ID, you can monetize your music's usage on YouTube even when it appears in videos uploaded by others. It ensures you get paid for every view where your song is used.
6. Protects Your Copyright: Content ID is part of YouTube's commitment to protecting copyright owners, giving artists peace of mind knowing their creations are safeguarded.
Through One Music Records, Content ID provides you with a seamless and secure way to manage and monetize your music on YouTube, ensuring that every use of your song benefits you.
