PLEASE NOTE : In order to maximise returns from this source, it is important that you ensure that all
official videos featuring your music have credits similar to the following in the "Description" section for
each of your videos:-
Song Title Written By Songwriter/s Name/s Performed By Band / Act Name Published By Maori Music (PRS : 159804347)
YouTube Content ID Scheme
Whilst returns from YouTube videos are largely automated, you may request that we register the music
used in your official video/s for YouTube Content ID as shown below.
Content ID is a digital fingerprinting system developed by Google which is used to easily identify and
manage copyrighted content on YouTube.
This may well also identify your own YouTube Channel's official videos.
YouTube Content ID is administered by our agents, Songtradr.
Videos uploaded to YouTube are compared against audio and video files registered with Content ID by
Maori Music and our specialist partner SongTradr, looking for any matches and we ensure that every
video containing your music is properly detected, claimed and monetised on your behalf.
When this happens, the video gets a Content ID claim and if it is an authorised, monetised, video you'll
earn royalties accordingly.
YouTube's requirement is that their monetisation service is exclusive, which means that you should only
consider opting in music that is not currently represented in the YouTube Content ID system by
another administrative party such as your Record Label etc.
