YouTube royalty recovery

Collection is automatic—until it isn’t.

Recover Royalties takes on the exceptions: unmatched uses, broken connections, competing ownership and the human follow-through required to resolve them.

Specialist services

A complete recovery layer.

One focused team across discovery, data, claiming and resolution—built to complement the infrastructure you already have.

CATALOGUE AUDIT

See the gaps before you commit.

We compare repertoire, ownership, assets, claims and conflicts to identify recoverable opportunities.

MANUAL DISCOVERY

Search outside the fingerprint.

We investigate covers, altered versions, live uses and uploads that automation can miss.

METADATA REPAIR

Connect the composition to the use.

We clean identifiers, ownership, territories and related asset links so claims have a defensible data trail.

PRECISION CLAIMING

Claim what is yours—without creating noise.

We place carefully scoped claims and avoid unnecessary conflicts across the catalogue.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION

Turn overlapping claims into agreed ownership.

We investigate discrepancies, contact counterparties and work the issue to resolution.

ONGOING RECOVERY

Keep pace with new uploads.

We monitor for new opportunities and continue the detailed work as usage evolves.

How recovery works

The work between a match and a payment.

Systems can surface possibilities. Revenue moves when experienced people investigate the gaps and finish the job.

Beyond official uploads

Same composition. Different signal.

Every transformation creates another chance for a right to become disconnected from the use that should pay it.

Sped up

Pitch and tempo changes that can weaken automated matching.

Slowed down

Reworked versions shared outside official channels.

Remixes

Derivative uploads and edits that still use the composition.

Podcasts

Music embedded in long-form conversation and video podcasts.

Live performances

Covers and performances that do not match the master recording.

UGC at scale

Fan edits, compilations, tutorials and creator uploads.

What we are

Your specialist recovery team.

Not a publisher. Not a replacement.

We do not take ownership of copyrights. We operate alongside publishers, administrators and existing collection partners, focused on the work they cannot efficiently find or finish.

Performance based.

There is no upfront recovery fee. We succeed when recoverable revenue becomes collected revenue, subject to the commercial terms agreed after your audit.

Start with evidence

Put a specialist on the hard-to-find revenue.

We’ll review a representative sample and show you where coverage, metadata or ownership may be leaving eligible YouTube revenue unresolved.
