Enabling this feature will enable one to show copyright messages upon the download of one or more assets.
Specifically, you get the option to control the following:
Who gets to see the copyright disclaimer
Make copyright presets, and assign them to multiple assets quickly
Make custom copyright messages for individual assets (which will override the copyright presets)
How to set up predefined messages
First of all, you need to make at least one new metadata field, wherein you write the preset message(s) that you want to use in your system. This metadata field can be of the metadata types: string, note, or combovalue. It’s advised that you go with combovalue.
If you instead choose node or string, you can skip the next part, as it only pertains to combovalue.
You need to manually define some presets in your combovalue. For the purpose of this guide, we’ll show how it works for media licensed from HBO GO and Netflix:
In the image above, you see the “Text“ and “Value“ field. The “Text” field is the one that is visible for selection in the UI, whereas the “Value“ is the message that’s shown when a user tries downloading an asset.
This means that as an admin/editor - I know that a certain asset has been licensed by HBO GO, and to this, I have to show a disclaimer every time a user downloads it. I edit the asset from the MM’s asset editor, select HBO GO in the list, and press save. Now, all users that download the asset will be met with the message “Usage needs to be approved by an…“.
How to set up a custom message
This notification message will always be the one to be shown, even if you have set up a preset message on the asset.
Usually, one would set up the metadata field for custom notification messages to be either a string or a note field. The way it works is by that an admin or editor edits an asset’s metadata, fills out the custom notification message field, and saves. Now, users who download the asset will be met with the custom message.
Configuring MM to use the new metadata fields
Once you’ve created a predefined notification field, a custom field, or both - you need to configure the MM to use them. Go into System tools → ConfigManager → Media Manager 5 → 5.0.0 → [your version]
In here, go to the ConfigManager tab, and expand the “Copyright Notification“ control.
Check the “Enable copyright notification“, in the “Predefined…“ field, you, of course, enter your predefined field, and likewise for the “Custom…” field.
Now press save, and you should be good to go.
The bypass role
Some users might be well aware of the copyrights of the individual assets, and therefore desire to opt-out.
To address this, a new role has been added, called: Copyright_Notification_Bypass
Simply add this to your user or a group your user is a part of, and you should never encounter the copyright messages again.

Requirements
You need to create a new metafield, for something that is transcribed into a text field.
The copyright notification feature requires two metafields to function correctly; one for holding a predefined value and one for holding a custom value. The metafield can be of type String, Note, or ComboValue. The recommended configuration is as follows:
The metafield designated for storing the predefined value should be of type ComboValue, with entries that have use Text for the name of the predefined template and Value for the predefined template.
2. The metafield designated for storing the custom value should be of type Note.
Configuration
Navigate to the MM5 Config Manager, expand the "Copyright Notification" section, and configure the available options.
“Enable copyright notification“ - Enables or disabled the copyright notification feature
“Predefined disclaimer metadata field“ - Selects the metafield that will be used to check and extract the predefined copyright disclaimer for an asset.
“Custom disclaimer metadata field“ - Selects the metafield that will be used to check and extract the custom copyright disclaimer for an asset.
Roles
The copyright notification feature introduces one new role:
Copyright_Notification_Bypass - allows a user to download the assets, bypassing the copyright notification
