YouTube - Manual Claims

Always have your music copyright claimed on Youtube with Label Worx - Manual Claim.

Most of the time your music is protected when being uploaded by other Youtube Channels via the Content ID system and matching. However, there are some cases where the Content ID does not match sound recordings, and thus never claims your music accordingly.

This is where we, at Label Worx, can ensure your music still gets copyright claimed via Manual Claim and that you receive any revenue generated from it.

IS THIS DIFFERENT TO CONTENT ID?

A manual claim is different from an automated Content ID claim. A Content ID claim is generated when an uploaded video matches another video (or part of another video) in the Content ID system.

Label Worx has a team of Youtube certified experts to search and track priority tracks. Utilizing the tool gives us a way to manually claim videos for you which are not matched by the Content ID system. Manual claims must include accurate timestamps to show exactly where the claimed content is in your video.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING THE MANUAL CLAIM TOOL?

The advantages of using the Manual Claim tool are:

• Find videos that match your assets
• Claim a video that uses your content
• Submit copyright takedown requests

IMPORTANT: We do not Manually Claim videos which have under ten thousand (10,000) views. Make sure the video for which you are submitting the request for Manual Claim has at least ten thousand views.

HOW CAN I SUBMIT A MANUAL CLAIM FOR REVIEW WITH LABEL WORX?

If you are a Label Worx distribution client and for some reason, you see a song/asset that you have uploaded has not matched up to a video on your channel and/or others, you can provide the following minimum amount of information required for us to be able to investigate and attempt to claim your video/music manually on the form, linked below:

• Video URL
• Sound recording artist and title
• ISRC
• UPC
• Time Start / Time End

After that, we’ll take it from there and ensure your sound recording is correctly copyright claimed for you.

 IMPORTANT: By submitting a manual claim, you 100% agree that the content should be monetized on your behalf and further agree that you own the material to be able to monetize it.
