In the good old days (by which I mean &#8211; about a fortnight ago), they used to allow you to supply supporting documentation for usage rights\/ownership at the point where you upload the video. This arrangement seems to have changed to a system where they review the footage first, and only ask for supporting documentation afterwards &#8211; which seems a bit of a back-to-front approach to me, but I&#8217;m sure they have their reasons. As a consequence, the adsense approval process seems to take days now, rather than hours. Obviously, event-related clips get a surge of hits in the immediate aftermath of the event that they&#8217;re showing&#8230; and it&#8217;s annoying to miss out on the potential revenue for those.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, mini-rant over.
