Every video using your music pays you.
Right now, your music is inside videos you've never seen — covers, edits, vlogs, shorts, compilations. Through our YouTube-certified CMS, every one of them gets identified by audio fingerprint, claimed under your policy, and monetized on your statement.
YouTube is the biggest
royalty leak in music.
Uploading your own videos is the easy part. The money is in everyone else's — the fan uploads, covers and edits that use your music without ever asking. Without Content ID, that revenue simply doesn't reach you.
Certified CMS Access
Content ID isn't open to individual artists — it runs through approved partners. We operate a YouTube-certified CMS, so your catalog gets the same rights tooling the majors use.
Partner-level toolingAutomated, Then Human
Fingerprint matching runs 24/7 across every upload on YouTube. Our rights team handles what automation can't — disputes, manual claims and edge cases.
Machines + rights teamYour Policy, Your Call
Monetize, track or block — match policies are set per asset and per territory to fit your strategy. Fan covers can earn for you while leaks get blocked.
Monetize · Track · BlockIf your catalog isn't fingerprinted, other people's videos are earning ad revenue on your music — and keeping it.
Every unclaimed use is monetized anyway — by the uploader, or by nobody. Content ID doesn't create that revenue; it redirects it to the rights holder it always belonged to. The only question is whether your references are in the system.
From delivery to payout,
in four moves.
You deliver audio once — the system never stops working after that.
Assets & references
We create assets for your recordings in the CMS, deliver reference files for fingerprinting, and set metadata and ownership by territory.
Match & claim
YouTube scans every upload against your references — full songs, clips, sped-up edits, re-pitches. Matches are claimed automatically under your match policy.
Manage & defend
Our rights team reviews disputes, files manual claims where automation misses, resolves ownership conflicts and keeps invalid counter-claims off your assets.
Collect & report
Ad revenue from every claimed video flows into your account, itemized by asset — paid monthly alongside your other royalties.
The full rights stack,
not just claims.
Claiming videos is the start. Running a catalog on YouTube properly takes all of this.
Fan Uploads & Covers
Covers, remixes of your originals, edits, slowed/sped versions and compilations — matched and monetized under your policy.
UGC → revenueShorts & Clips
Short-form uses are identified and claimed too — at Shorts volume, small per-view revenue compounds fast across a catalog.
Volume adds upWhitelisting
Your own channels, your artists' channels and approved partners are whitelisted — so promotion never gets caught in your own claims.

Invalid disputes rejected with evidence, ownership conflicts resolved territory by territory, and repeat infringers escalated.

Asset-level detailQuestions rights holders ask us.
Direct Content ID access is granted to rights administrators managing substantial catalogs with exclusive rights — not to individual artists or most independent labels. Working through a certified partner like Next is the standard route: you get the tooling without the eligibility barrier or the operational overhead.
Not when it's set up properly. Your channels — and any channels you approve — are whitelisted against your assets, so your own uploads, premieres and promo clips are never hit by your own claims.
Exclusive rights to the recordings you deliver, in the territories we administer. Content ID doesn't accept content you don't exclusively control — no beats licensed non-exclusively, no public-domain-only material, no content with unresolved samples. We verify this at onboarding, because bad references put an entire catalog's standing at risk.
Disputes come to our rights team, not your inbox. Valid ones (like a channel you'd want whitelisted) get resolved in your interest; invalid ones are rejected with evidence within the response window, and escalations are handled through the CMS process.
It scales with how much your music circulates: catalogs with active fan communities, viral moments or heavily-used tracks can see Content ID rival their DSP income; quieter catalogs earn less but leak nothing. Either way it's revenue that costs you no extra work — the same recordings, earning from more places.
Content ID protection ships with our distribution deals, and we also administer it for catalogs that only need YouTube rights management. Either way, revenue lands on the same itemized monthly statement.
