In most cases, Content ID is only available to established music publishers, however, a number of YouTube certified companies, like AdRev, Audiam, and few more, offer technical solutions for smaller independent music producers, so they can also protect their works with YouTube’s Content ID system.įor example, if you use a music track registered in the AdRev system, you will receive a copyright claim (also known as third party content match) that looks like this:

YouTube employs a robust system called Content ID that allows copyright owners to identify and to manage how their content is used on YouTube.
