Question: A partner owns the rights to a video in Spain, but not other regions. They upload the video to their YouTube channel, but aren't sure what settings to apply. What would you recommend they do?

  • Don’t assign ownership until the partner has secured worldwide rights.
  • Set ownership on the asset to all countries. Set a match policy of block outside of Spain
  • Set ownership on the asset to Spain, and set block outside ownership on the claim.
  • Set ownership on the asset to Spain only.

Explanation

Asset ownership should reflect only the territories where the partner controls rights. Since the partner owns rights only in Spain, ownership should be limited to Spain. Block outside ownership on the claim prevents the partner-uploaded video from being viewable where the partner does not own the asset. This keeps availability aligned with territorial rights and avoids unauthorized distribution outside the owned region.

Why the other options are incorrect

No ownership is incorrect because valid rights in Spain should still be declared.

Worldwide ownership is incorrect because ownership cannot be claimed in territories where rights are not controlled.

Spain ownership only is incomplete because it does not address availability of the partner-uploaded video outside owned territories.
