Question: Rupi works at a publishing company and manages their songwriters’ Composition Share Assets on YouTube. Artist A has to dispute all claims that Rupi’s company makes against his cover videos, because he obtained a license to cover songs from their catalog. What should Rupi do to prevent these claims in the future?
- Create a manual campaign targeting Artist A’s videos.
- Automatically route all new claims for manual review.
- Issue a copyright takedown notices for Artist A’s cover videos.
- Whitelist Artist A’s channel.
Explanation
A whitelisted channel prevents Content ID claims from being created against videos uploaded by that channel. This is appropriate when a channel has permission or a license that allows use of the publisher’s catalog. Whitelisting avoids repeated disputes while still allowing the publisher to maintain claims on other user uploads. The setting is managed in Content Manager CMS for partner-controlled rights workflows.
Why the other options are incorrect
Manual campaign is incorrect because campaigns promote or manage claiming workflows, not licensed-channel exemptions.
Manual review is incorrect because it still creates claim handling work instead of preventing claims on the licensed channel.
Copyright takedown notices is incorrect because the videos are licensed and should not be removed.
