YouTube is now bringing a new feature called Copyright Match Tool to catch these video thieves, through which tools YouTube can easily catch those video thieves. This information was revealed in a YouTube blog post. If any new video is uploaded to YouTube through this new tool, YouTube will scan it. It will be analyzed whether there is compatibility of the video uploaded with any video uploaded on any other channel on the YouTube platform or not.

If that video matches a video uploaded to another channel, a tab named 'Matches' will appear. Through this tab, YouTube can control the upload of those stolen videos. According to YouTube authorities, the copyright match tool has been in testing for a year to prevent illegal re-uploads of content.

It has also been informed that those who have more than one lakh subscribers on YouTube will be able to use the new feature from next week. But the feature will be developed more and soon it will be open for everyone.
