Question: An asset is owned by Partner A in Canada and Partner B everywhere except Canada. Partner A has a match policy of Monetize worldwide. Partner B has a match policy of Block everywhere except Canada. If a user video is matched and claimed against this asset, what is the applied policy?
- Monetize worldwide
- Track in Canada, Block everywhere else
- Monetize in Canada, Block everywhere else
- Block worldwide
Explanation
YouTube applies each owner’s match policy only within that owner’s valid ownership territories. Partner A controls Canada, so its Monetize policy applies there. Partner B controls all territories outside Canada, so its Block policy applies outside Canada. A worldwide policy setting does not override the actual territory map for the asset.
Why the other options are incorrect
Monetize worldwide is incorrect because Partner A does not own the asset outside Canada.
Track in Canada is incorrect because neither partner selected a Track policy.
Block worldwide is incorrect because Partner B does not own the asset in Canada.
