The Challenge

A creator network, not a single catalog

The network approached RightSet with a portfolio of viral creators whose content was being clipped, re-cut, and re-uploaded across thousands of YouTube channels. Managing rights across a multi-creator catalog is uniquely complex: every creator has their own audience, their own content patterns, and their own re-upload problem at a different scale.

A creator network, not a single catalog

Nineteen asset labels (unique creators), each generating their own claims, their own matches, and their own royalty stream. Most rights tooling treats every asset label as a separate client. The network needed it all managed as one portfolio under one relationship while still providing clear analytics for each creator.

High-velocity, high-volume short-form content

The network’s creators publish constantly and produce exactly the kind of viral short-form content most likely to be clipped, remixed, and re-uploaded. Some creator labels alone have generated more than 84,000 claims. Every new upload becomes a new fingerprint to manage and a new wave of matches to claim.

International operations, single rights partner

The network operates through international corporate structures with creators across multiple territories. They needed a rights partner who could handle international payouts, multi-creator royalty splits, and consolidated reporting from one interface.

Our Solution

One portfolio, one relationship, full coverage

01

Full-catalog Content ID coverage

We fingerprinted the network’s full creator catalog into Content ID, applying both standard visual matching and enhanced detection to catch every re-upload variation, including the heavily edited clips and remixes that short-form content attracts.

02

Multi-creator portfolio management

We treat the network as one rights-holder relationship rather than 19 separate accounts, with consolidated reporting, payout, and dispute workflows across the entire creator portfolio. All while maintaining clear reporting for each individual creator. New creators get added to the same managed pipeline.

03

Custom rights-holder dashboard

Our proprietary dashboard is purpose-built and able to support multi-creator rights holders, with real-time visibility into every claim, every matched channel, and royalty earnings broken out by creator in a single interface.

Deeper Insights & Lasting Value

Multi-creator portfolio intelligence

With RightSet, the network can see which creators in the portfolio are driving the most claims, which content formats generate the highest reuse, and where international audience growth is happening. That insight shapes which creators to invest in and which content patterns to scale across the network.
