If your own content is being used without your
permission, YouTube has several tools you can
use to help protect your content from being
misused.
Everyone with a YouTube channel has access to
our copyright takedown webform. For most
copyright owners, the webform is the fastest
and easiest way to request a copyright
takedown.
The Copyright Match Tool finds full re-uploads
of your original videos on other YouTube
channels. Once a match has been identified,
you can review it in YouTube Studio and choose
which action you’d like to take (archive,
request removal, or contact the channel).
Just because we’ve found an upload that
matches your video doesn’t guarantee its
copyright infringement. It's your
responsibility to review each video and
consider whether fair use, fair dealing, or a
similar exception to copyright applies. After
review, you can submit a takedown request if
desired.
