If Publisher X and Publisher Z own the same asset in different territories, who is responsible for ensuring that each Publisher earns the correct amount of revenue from the asset?

YouTube is responsible for ensuring each publisher earns the correct amount of revenue. YouTube's Content ID system and rights management tools are designed to identify and track ownership claims across different territories. When multiple publishers claim ownership of the same asset in different regions, YouTube's system processes these claims and allocates revenue based on the territorial rights asserted by each publisher. Publishers X and Z are responsible for accurately registering their territorial claims with YouTube, but YouTube's platform handles the subsequent revenue distribution based on those claims. Publisher X and Publisher Z are not directly responsible for coordinating revenue distribution with each other; their role is to provide accurate rights information to YouTube.
