New Delhi: YouTube has rolled out a new tool that helps creators remove copyrighted music from their videos. The new tool, commonly known as "Erase Song," employs an AI-powered algorithm to accurately detect and remove copyrighted music, ensuring their content stays compliant with copyright rules.

Notably, creators previously didn't have the option to remove the objectionable part. The tool aims to simplify the editing process and avoid potential copyright claims, making it easier for creators to produce and share their videos without worry.

Videos receive a “Content ID claim” if there's an issue with copyrighted music. This can lead to restrictions on where the video can be viewed or whether it can be monetized. Now, users have the option to edit out just the claimed segment from their video or replace the song entirely.
