YouTube "Checks" Tool

If you ever upload videos to YouTube that may be using music or other copywritten content, here's some info for you:

YouTube can now warn creators about copyright issues before videos are posted

• YouTube is rolling out a new tool called “Checks” that tells a creator ahead of time if their video contains copyrighted material.
• The new feature screens uploads for copyrighted content, which could lead to takedowns
• This new system is reliant on Content ID. If YouTube’s copyright identification system finds a violation after a video is scanned, the rights holder’s policy will be automatically applied to the video, according to the company. This could result in either the video being blocked entirely or the rights holders monetizing the video instead.
