Importance OF Copyright Match Tool!
Only creators can understand the hard work that goes behind creating a video for their YouTube channels. Any video with a small subscriber base could lead to a business deal, sponsoring opportunities, and good monetization rates. But, its heartbreaking for the creator to see the video that they created with so much effort is getting replicated on another channel without your permission.
To solve this age-old problem, YouTube is releasing a new tool called “Copyright Match” to let the creators check if their videos are being stolen and take relevant action against it. YouTube began testing this tool with creators for nearly a year to make it safe and effective for the whole community.
