Claiming revenue from songs on YouTube using AdRev

When someone plays a video on YouTube that uses your song without obtaining permission, you can claim revenue from the video. You don't have to do any of the work yourself. YouTube algorithms behind the scenes detect when your song is playing in a video and marks the video as using your song. Any ad revenue the video was generating then gets collected for you. If you're looking for more information about this, YouTube uses the terminology ContentID to refer to claiming revenue from videos.

ContentID monetizing is done using a service called AdRev. It's the official service for registering music on YouTube. Some digital distribution companies may include using YouTube AdRev in their features, but if not, you can do this yourself for free.

Important Note

If you signed up for SongTrust, SongTrust can claim revenue for you and you don't have to register your music on AdRev.
