Joshua Siegel, YouTube product manager, says the video site has increased the length of clips people can upload from 10 minutes to 15 minutes, attributing the change to Google's success in developing a Content ID system.

Content ID identifies copyright issues for U.S. movie studios, music labels and more than 1,000 other global partners, and helps to protect and monetize the content.
