oogle TO HELP in Finding Reuploaded Content https://digitalmarketingjournal.weebly.com/blog/google -to-help-youtube-in-finding-re-uploaded-content Google recently announced that it is taking a new step intended to help YouTube creators in protecting their copyrighted work. Based on current reports, Google is on the process of releasing a new “Copyright Match tool.” This tool is designed to search for content that has been re-uploaded by various YouTube users on other channels. With its initial set of functions, the tool is regarded as a helpful feature for most digital marketers that use YouTube. Google also hinted that with the help of the tool, creators could upload their videos as well as allow YouTube to scan and try to search for other videos that can be regarded as similar or duplicates of what they uploaded. As soon as a match is found this will automatically appear in the “matches” tab which is readily available within the tool for the Copyright Match. Given this information, the creator is given the option to decide on what to do next. They can get in touch with the applicable channels where the content was re-uploaded. Aside from that, they can also initiate a request to take this down as well as do nothing at all. Due to the tool’s programmed mechanism, a relevant question surfaced, and this involves determining the rightful owner of the video. Fortunately, Google came up with a realistic way of knowing this. To determine the real owner, Google and YouTube will be looking at who uploaded the video first. Google, however, noted that this tool is designed to find full videos that were reuploaded. This simply means that the clips with content will not be detected and shown in the tool’s “matches” tab. In case the creators of videos happen to find clips that are showcasing their content that was already uploaded by other channels, the creators or owners can conveniently report the issue using the web form intended for copyright concerns. Finally, Google hinted that he Copyright Match tool will be rolled out next week. The initial roll out will apply to creators with more than 100k subscribers. The company also explained that the tool would eventually become available to all creators that are part of the YouTube Partner program.
