From a point of view of a creator who's had there work copied for someone else's profit, I created some music for cats. It was a bit of fun really, you wouldn't like it, but your cat might, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKWUX7aMnlEK3edghsEnSyBU7FjosH0qd https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKWUX7aMnlEK3edghsEnS... anyway, occasionally my music is copied and monetised on other youtube channels without me knowing. While this annoys me, YouTubes approach to this is very good, If I report this copyright infringement, YouTube allows me to enter an agreement with the copyright infringer for shared revenue or other. I balance this multi tiered approach as very good, since this other channel may be getting better views than me, and the cost of marketing is so high, and this other user is effectively endorsing my brand and creating awareness for me, and to waiver their violation, I can enter a shared revenue agreement with them. This is a win/win for me as I get another opportunity to profit, and my music is shared in more places than just the places I manage to manually put it myself or pay someone to.
