Content ID
Youtube created the technology to detect uploaded videos that infringe copyright in 2007. Content ID technology creates an ID File for copyrighted audio and video material, and stores it in a database. When a video is uploaded, it is checked against the database, and flags the video as a copyright violation if a match is found. When this occurs, the content owner has the choice of blocking the video and making it un-viewable, tracking the viewing statistics of the video, or adding advertisements to the video.
- Content ID scans over 100 years of video every day.
- More than 3,000 partners use Content ID, including every major US network broadcaster, movie studio and record label.
- There are more than 8 million reference files (over 500,000 hours of material) in YouTube's Content ID database. That number has doubled in the last year.
- Over a third of YouTube's total monetized views come from Content ID.
- More than 120 million videos have been claimed by Content ID.
Social
The rise of Facebook, Twitter and other social networks has accelerated the growth of YouTube as it enables discovery and sharing of online videos.
- 500 years of YouTube video are watched every day on Facebook.
- Over 700 YouTube videos are shared on Twitter each minute.
- 100 million people take a social action on YouTube (likes, shares, comments, etc...) every week.
- An auto-shared tweet results in 6 new youtube.com sessions on average.
- There are 500 tweets per minute containing a YouTube link.
- Millions of subscriptions to YouTube happen each day. (Subscriptions allow you to connect with someone you're interested in - whether it's a friend, or the NBA - and keep up on their activity on the site).
- More than 50% of videos on YouTube have been rated or include comments from the community.
- Millions of videos are favourited every day.
