Koda writes on his website:
"Koda and YouTube agree on many of the overarching principles to ensure payment to the performers, but the agreement is not finalized. We are currently in intense negotiations with YouTube and we are working on a solution as soon as possible."

Through the alliance allows you advertisements on duplicate content or content you upload to YouTube. This feature allows artists in the longer term will be able to get money when their content is displayed.
