🔍 How Does It Work?
YouTube uses advanced audio fingerprinting technology called Content ID, which scans every uploaded video on the platform for matches with registered music. When a match is found:
✅ The video is automatically claimed on behalf of the rights holder
💰 Monetization is enabled, generating revenue through ads, memberships, or subscriptions
📊 The user receives detailed reports on where their music appears and how much it earned
