Oh god Google... what have you done?

That's for the current Content ID system that was only meant for actualy copyright holders. This is now giving power to normal content creators. Apparently channels with a network can get this feature.

Okay then let me ask you this, I'm a self-employed music producer and tutorial maker, which makes me both copyright holder and content creator. This function allows me to add content ID to my music uploads, tutorial videos and so on. Now the only downside is you NEED to be partnered with a network...

Well this is bad.
It would be better if the system checks for content ID and shows the video and channel instead of a instant claim.
So you can check the video that should has your content and if its match you can claim it,if not so no.

I edited my post earlier to include that link.

Oh thanks that's the 1 I saw before when I looked up the content ID manager thing a few months ago.

It's really not that bad..

MCNs have already enabled this feature on their partners for years.

• It's audio matching only
• Your MCN likely has it enabled on all your videos already on the monetization policy
• This just allows you to change the policy to block or track

It's actually likely to be better for most channels.

According to 'learn more' section it can be applied to visual, audio or audiovisual. Does it only pick specific parts of the video or the entire video is my current main concern? If it's the entire video I couldn't careless who has the ability to use it, if it's only parts then what's to stop any random content creator from doing it. It's also a matter of who gets the content ID system even if they're part of an MCN. Lili has just under 1500 subs, what's to stop other smaller channels exploiting it?

For music creators it's fine as music is pretty much always unique, so it would help you help heaps if someone used your song or part of your song. But then the other issue arises when someone gets your song and somehow gets the claim before you do, sure you can win if you had the video with the song uploaded first and show other proof, but would you really want the constant hassle if it happens with every song?

As a producer who's music is released through record labels I can tell you there will not be anybody who gains access to finished tracks before they are released other than me and the label owners, so as soon as a track will be released I would also upload it on Youtube, that way I'll always be first. Now one thing that bugs me is that this is only available to network partners, which I'm not, I'm Adsense partner...

I think what Andrew means is exactly your situation. Since you don't have the content ID feature, when you upload a new song (even your current uploaded songs) without claiming it, someone else who has the content feature can go in, steal your music video, re-upload it and content ID claim it as their own.

Then, you'd have to "claim the claim" and prove that you are the original content holder. If this happens numerous time, you can see the problem in that.

Yeah sure, but then we come to this: music that has been released on a record label is already in the Content ID database because it's an official release, so somebody uploading that track won't be able to claim it as their own. Even if it happens it's still simple for me to prove that it's my content:

1. Entire production files are right here on my harddrives,
2. The material is copyrighted by a record label
3. I have copies of contracts which state that my music (with track names) is signed and released on a particular record label
4. I have a record label's team who can write written statements that the music is mine.
5. And so on...

I think you guys are making too much of a fuss about this whole thing, sure it could be misused, but for people who actually CREATE this should not give any problems.

Pretty much what I was trying to say. lol

But in that case we're not actually making a big fuss as this is a serious issue for us. Not for you, but it is for us. This also means that you don't need the feature at all if the record label already puts out an ID on it. lol

If you have a record label that automatically claims your content, then why are you worried about not having the feature? I don't understand. Well, you might not think it is a big issue and that is fine. Good for you. However, it is concerning for a lot of us.

Even if you are a 100% creator, there is a potential that it can give you problems. I feel this feature will be abused by a lot of users--probably most who do not know what they are doing. I guess everyone will see how it plays out once the feature starts to be utilized. Hopefully it will not cause as many problems as some of us are expecting.

Why would it be a big thing for you gamers then?
