The rights holders

Every channel listed here is a rights holder's own. Each is found in Wikidata as an organisation, or as a person whose own work it is (a comedian, a filmmaker), that names a YouTube channel as its own (or is one of the few checked by hand first, whose items name none), and is checked every week by the same rule, with no person in between: its own official website links that very channel in its pages and states its name; its Wikidata item named the same website and channel 30 days ago and has an article in Wikipedia; it is not on the sanctions lists of the United States, the European Union or the United Kingdom; and YouTube confirms that the website's link leads to the channel, whose name shares a word with the rights holder's. A channel a search finds broadcasting is only a lead: it lists nothing unless it passes the same rule. Of a person, this list shows only what they publish: their name, their channel and their site.
