As I am a composer some orchestras are uploading live performances playing my music. Therefore the music in this videos is not one to one as the music I upload on my account (e.g., background noice during the concert, etc.) , but it is the same music piece and of course stille mine. Are these videos also linked automatically to my CID and do I also get money through the clicks or do I manually need to apply for that?
Unfortunately this depends solely on YouTube’s detection algorithm, which they are not very transparent about (even with distributors). We cannot really answer your question, so I would suggest reaching out to YouTube directly, hopefully they can share a bit more information about this with you
