In order to prevent abuse by copyright infringements in terms of audio content, some of the audio content is listed with services like HAAWK or AdRev. These services monitor and control pieces of music via the YouTube Content ID Database, in order to prevent the unauthorized use on YouTube by unauthorized persons. Thereby, the provider’s titles are submitted to these services as reference and tested for matches on the platform YouTube. If there is a match, the YouTube user will be informed about a so-called “content-ID-claim” or a “Copyright Notification”. Thus, YouTube raises copyright claims and turns on advertising before the video. Any customer, who has lawfully acquired a licence from the provider, can contradict any alleged copyright claims at https://www.haawk.com/whitelist or directly via the YouTube Channel Dispute-option. Thus, the “Copyright Notification”, “content-ID-claim” and the YouTube advertisements will be turned off. It is then possible for the customer to have ad-free use on YouTube. This process is intended to protect the provider as well as the customer from illegal use of the audio content.
