Content ID rights protection
Content ID rights management for your catalog
ID Content Music helps artists and labels manage eligible recordings through YouTube Content ID, connecting catalog rights, reference files and claim follow-up.
Your music can appear in videos you did not publish. A match should lead to a decision grounded in the rights you hold.
What we manage
Catalog eligibility
Review the recordings and the permissions you hold before submitting reference files. Exclusive rights and YouTube’s requirements determine eligibility.
Claim policies
Define the appropriate monetization, tracking or blocking policy for eligible matches, including the territories where you hold rights.
Claims and disputes
Follow claims and disputed uses with the ownership information relevant to your catalog, within the agreed service scope.
From rights review to follow-up
- Share links to the recordings, your role and the rights you represent.
- We review eligibility and agree the reference files, territories and claim policies.
- Eligible recordings enter the agreed workflow, with claim and dispute follow-up.
Before you register
Can any recording enter Content ID?
No. Eligibility depends on exclusive rights and YouTube’s reference requirements. Non-exclusive material and uncleared samples need review first.
Does a Content ID claim remove a video?
Not automatically. Depending on the policy, a match may be monetized, tracked or blocked. A Content ID claim is different from a copyright strike.
Does registration guarantee revenue?
No. Revenue depends on eligible uses, the policy and platform rules. Rights management and revenue are related, but registration is not an earnings guarantee.
