Question: Ty works at a record label and manages monetization of their catalog on YouTube. Which of the following can help Ty generate revenue from user covers that utilize the label’s sound recordings?
- Content ID matching
- Copyright takedowns
- Copyright strikes
- YouTube Analytics API
Explanation
Content ID matching lets a rightsholder identify user-uploaded videos that match reference content linked to an asset. For a label, a Sound Recording asset can generate revenue when audio-only user-generated content claims are monetized. This supports monetization of uploads that use the label’s recordings rather than removing them by default. The applied match policy determines whether a claimed video is monetized, tracked, or blocked.
Why the other options are incorrect
Copyright takedowns is incorrect because removal does not generate ongoing revenue from claimed user uploads.
Copyright strikes is incorrect because strikes are consequences of valid removal requests, not monetization tools.
YouTube Analytics API is incorrect because analytics data does not create claims or apply monetization policies.
