Melanie’s company owns an asset in North America, but she figures she should claim ownership worldwide to maximize ad revenue from the asset. Why is this a bad idea?

 

Because YouTube will automatically block videos containing the asset in the territories outside of North America.
Because claiming ownership in territories where they don’t own the asset could lead to bad claims and the termination of the company’s partnership with YouTube.
Because YouTube will automatically monetize videos containing the asset in North America.
None of the above.
