Certainly.
Here’s part of how it started, which should clarify a portion of your question:
-
Sign up - They will ask you to upload some tracks for approval (This could take a month for the first few tracks, after this the approval is usually pretty quick)
-
Once your tracks have been accepted, identifyy will then go through the YouTube ContentID system to copyright claim all works with your uploaded Audio.
-
If your content is used on a customers video, an advert will be placed on the video and a copyright claim will show up with your artist name. (They will never take down the video)
-
If the customer is willing to let the ad’s run on their video and are happy to keep the copyright claim on the video, you will be able to benefit from YouTube’s contentID system monetarily.
-
If the customer doesn’t want Advertisements running on their video they can then take their license in which was purchased from a licensee (ie. AudioJungle) and dispute the claim using YouTube’s dispute filing system.
-
Alternatively they could email you or identifyy with the video they want to remove the copyright claim & with a license do the same thing, which is quicker.
-
And finally if they feel like they would want to white list their channel, (eg, prevent all of your music from copyright claims) they can forward you their license/s, & you can then email identifyy requesting they white list the channel & they will white list the channel within 48 hours.
I did a write up on my page in which I embed in my download file to make customers aware of the whole YouTube ContentID thing & how to get around it if they are curious. https://www.kords.org/youtubecontentid
I hope this helps you!
