4.3 Content ID and YouTube Monetization (Creator License)

The Licensor (Giacomo Bucci) registers all music with Content ID systems (e.g., YouTube Content ID) to protect against unauthorized use. This is a standard practice to prevent third parties from claiming or re-uploading the music.

However, as a Creator License holder, you are granted the explicit right to monetize your YouTube videos that contain my music. To exercise this right:

You must activate your license key at license.creativesoundtrack.com and provide your YouTube channel ID.
After activation, you will receive a certificate (PDF) proving your license. You may be required to submit this certificate to YouTube or to me to whitelist your channel.
Once whitelisted, your videos will not receive Content ID claims from my music, and you will keep 100% of your ad revenue.

Important: If you do not activate your license or do not request whitelisting, my Content ID system may claim your video. In that case, you can dispute the claim by providing your license certificate. I will release the claim upon verification.

For Commercial and Business licenses, YouTube monetization is also permitted without additional whitelisting steps (but attribution may be required as per Section 6).

5. Restrictions

The Licensee may not:

Sell, resell, or distribute the music "as is";
Create new tracks based on this music (sample, remix, cover);
Use the music in music compilations or albums;
Register the music in any Content ID system (including but not limited to YouTube Content ID, AdRev, etc.) – This right is reserved exclusively for the Licensor;
Use the music in templates or products intended for resale;
Create phone ringtones;
Sell, resell, or distribute the purchased key and license.
