What are the copyright tools on YouTube?

Copyright compliance is one of the priorities of YouTube’s largest video sharing service. Company Google she has now published her first transparent report on her blog, which outlines how these rights are being enforced in this ecosystem.

Three types of YouTube copyright tools

YouTube Copyright Management today consists of three main tools that the service assigns to rights holders based on their specific needs and resources:

In the first half of 2021, more than 722 million copyright removal requests were submitted through Content ID, representing more than 99% of all copyright actions on YouTube. In the first half of 2021, more than 1.6 million removal requests were submitted using the Copyright Match Tool. However, more than 60% of disputes were resolved in favor of the user who uploaded the video.

The YouTube ecosystem has earned authors more than $ 30 billion

Thanks to these tools, the service then creates a functioning ecosystem that seeks to oversee the needs of authors, rights holders and viewers at the same time. As a result, the economy has an economy that has paid more than $ 30 billion over the past three years to creators, artists and media companies. More than $ 4 billion has gone to the music industry since March 2020, of which more than 30% comes from user-generated content.
