Some additional policies and tools re: copyright and content management on YouTube:
- Our strict repeat-infringer policy, which has been in place since our launch, terminates accounts of repeat infringers based on DMCA notices.
- We require users to confirm at the time of upload that they have rights to the video they're uploading
- We take a unique "hash" of every video removed for copyright infringement and block re-upload of that exact video file prospectively.
- We provide content owners with an electronic notification and takedown tool, to help them more easily identify their material and notify us to take it down with the click of a mouse.
- We also publish copyright tips for users in plain English and clear, prominent messaging at the time of user upload.
