YouTube’s New Copyright Tool - ‘Checks’ Method

The new tool brought out by YouTube has been named ‘Checks’ that tell the creator that their video contains copyrighted material and that it complies with the advertising guidelines. Before the introduction of ‘Checks’, creators at the platform thought that their content would be uploaded without any hitch but that is not the case after the recent update.

Due to copyright issues, fraudsters would duplicate contents claiming ad revenue which was quite unfair for the owner of the original content. However, the recent update made by YouTube will take necessary actions if such frauds are being committed on the online platform.

The new update or the new system brought out by YouTube is wholly based on the content ID system. In case there is a violation found by YouTube’s copyright identification system, the right holder’s policy would be applied automatically and this could result in the video being blocked permanently.

There will also be a notice sent to the owner of the video via ‘Checks’ so that the owner can remove a part of the video beforehand. In case a copyright issue is found and the creator does not think that he did not commit any fraud issues. Then, in that case YouTube will allow the creator to dispute the claim before the content has been published.

If the dispute finds that the creator did not use any unfair means then the ad revenue is paid out to them. This update from YouTube is only making things easier for creators so that they can create content and publish them on the platform securely.

Creators at YouTube can also be relieved thinking that the company will have their back whenever certain monetization issues are found due to duplicity of content. Before indulging in any kind of unfair practice one should know the consequences of it.

A takedown notice of the content will be done because of two reasons only and they are;

• Whenever there is a content-ID match.
• When there is a takedown notice created against the video.
