23. CONTENT ID:
YouTube Content ID is a digital innovation that helps find exactly where copyrighted music is being used on YouTube by third-party users for the profitability of the owner.
With this Content ID facility, the issue of piracy and unlawful usage of intellectual properties especially music and video on YouTube is overcome.
Musicians who already have this Content ID can never be poor for life and the beauty of it is that they leave the rest of their revenues for their children.
You make your money when your music is viewed on youTube through the advert (ad) that appear before your music is played.
Every music that plays Ads (Advert) before the main video starts to play is monetized.

Every time you hear music in a lift the artist who made it is getting paid. Every time you are in a shop and hear music playing in the background, the artist who made it is getting paid.
In fact, almost any time you hear music played anywhere (out in public, on the radio, on TV etc) the artist/s who made the song are getting paid, every time that song is played. Every artist should get involved with the organisations that take care of royalties for artists.
For example, in the US it’s ASCAP, in Canada it’s SOCAN and in the UK it’s PRS for Music. Most major countries have collecting societies that take care of royalties for artists.
In Nigeria, we have the Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) and MCSN Musical Copyright Society Nigeria. These organizations pay their members yearly, Join them.
All members of COSON received 50 million naira coronavirus relief fund during the lockdown.
I collected mine as one of the members of COSON and thanked God at that perilous time. If you are one of their members, you would have received yours.
Nigeria also has Goman & PMAN association, Join one today.
