Claims-free music means that once a license is purchased, no further royalties are due to be paid by the licensee for the use of the tracks. Any content published within the terms of the license will remain copyright claims free.

Content ID is a system available to copyright owners on YouTube, enabling them to easily identify and manage their content. When you upload a video to YouTube, YouTube will automatically scan the video for any copyrighted material. Copyright owners hold the authority to determine the course of action when their owned work is matched with content in a YouTube video. Upon detection, the video is subjected to a Content ID claim. This provides copyright owners with the option to monetize the video by incorporating advertisements. This claim simply recognizes the presence of copyrighted music and does not mean that your video cannot be published or that there is anything wrong. With an active subscription on Universal Music for Creators, content published within the subscription term will be free from copyright claims.

For Universal Music for Creators to recognize your content as licensed through Universal Music for Creators on YouTube, it is important that you link your channel or video to your subscription license. You can do this once you purchase a subscription on the confirmation page or add this in on the ‘Content ID’ section in your website account. If you have an active subscription but receive a claim, please check that the channel ID you have entered is correct. If everything looks right, then please get in touch through our website contact form detailing your email address, channel ID and Video ID.
