Correct answer: Partner A earns for Canada, Partner B earns for Mexico.
Why this is the answer
When an asset has multiple owners with overlapping territories, YouTube's Content ID system allocates revenue based on the specific territory where the content is viewed. In this scenario, Partner A owns the asset in Canada and Partner B owns it in Mexico. Both partners have a "Monetize worldwide" match policy, but their ownership rights are territorially defined. Therefore, any revenue generated from views in Canada will go to Partner A, and revenue from views in Mexico will go to Partner B. The original owner or the uploader of the reference file is not the sole determinant of revenue in multi-territory ownership situations.
