Content Monetization and Copyrights is a legal service helping digital creators (YouTubers, podcasters, course creators) legally structure their income generation. Monetization includes not just ad revenue, but also licensing copyrighted content, selling merch, and subscription models (Patreon, OnlyFans). The main challenge is: how to earn money without violating platform rules and Georgian tax legislation.
The service involves legal setup for monetization channels:
- YouTube and Social Media Monetization: Analyzing AdSense and MCN (Multi-Channel Network) contracts, appealing Copyright Strikes.
- Selling Digital Products: Developing Terms of Sale for online courses, e-books, and software.
- Licensing Models: Licensing content (photos, videos) to third parties (e.g., stock sites) and receiving royalties.
- Crowdfunding and Donations: Legal and tax aspects of receiving donations (Patreon, Buymeacoffee).
- Tax Optimization: Taxation of income from foreign platforms and avoidance of double taxation.
A practical example: A YouTuber got demonetized because they used music in a video they believed was "Fair Use." A lawyer prepares a substantiated Counter-Notification for YouTube to restore revenue. Another example: A course creator sells webinars, but users record and distribute them for free. The lawyer drafts "Terms of Use" prohibiting distribution and stipulating fines.
In Georgia, content monetization is regulated by Copyright Legislation and the Tax Code. When receiving foreign income, banking relations and proof of origin are important.
