YouTube Content ID is an automated system that helps copyright owners manage and protect their music and other copyrighted content on YouTube. It scans uploaded videos and checks for any matches with copyrighted material.
How Does It Work?
Content ID Database: Copyright owners (like music distributors, record labels, and publishers) upload their audio or video files to YouTube’s Content ID system.
Video Scanning: When a user uploads a video, YouTube scans it against the Content ID database to detect copyrighted material.
Match Found?
If a match is detected, the copyright owner can monetize, block, or track the video.
If no match is found, the video remains unaffected.
What Happens If My Song is Claimed by Content ID?
If your song is properly distributed through 2side Music, you retain control over its Content ID claims and revenue.
If a third party wrongly claims your music, you can dispute the claim through YouTube’s appeal system or contact legal@2sidemusic.net for support.
Can I Add My Songs to YouTube Content ID?
Yes! If you distribute your music through 2side Music, we can submit your tracks to YouTube Content ID to help protect and monetize your content.
