YouTube’s Video Identification in Action
Last year, for detecting copyright infringements. Content providers were supposed to upload their videos and the system would find YouTube videos that use excerpts from their content. “Video Identification goes above and beyond our legal responsibilities. It will help copyright holders identify their works on YouTube, and choose what they want done with their videos: whether to block, promote, or even - if a copyright holder chooses to license their content to appear on the site — monetize their videos,” explained Google when the system was launched.
: “There are three usage policies — Block, Track or Monetize. If a rights owner specifies a Block policy, the video will not be viewable on YouTube. If the rights owner specifies a Track policy, the video will continue to be made available on YouTube and the rights owner will receive information about the video, such as how many views it receives. For a Monetize policy, the video will continue to be available on YouTube and ads will appear in conjunction with the video. The policies can be region-specific, so a content owner can allow a particular piece of material in one country and block the material in another”
So what would you choose between the three policies: block (no exposure and no money) or track (exposure, but no money) or monetize (exposure and money)? Obviously, many content providers decided to choose the third option. In addition to the exposure, they could also make money from ads or from links to music stores, such as Amazon MP3.
