Correct answer: Copyright is a set of laws, while Content ID is a tool that helps rights holders exercise their rights on YouTube..
Why this is the answer
Copyright is a legal framework that gives rights holders control over certain uses of protected works. Content ID is YouTube’s rights management system for identifying uploaded videos that match reference content provided by rights holders. When a match is found, YouTube applies the rights holder’s selected policy, such as monetize, track, or block. This means Content ID helps enforce rights on YouTube, but it is not the law itself.
