One hotly debated topic on YouTube is copyright. Some say that how YouTube handles it is justified others hate it's guts for its policy's. Well don't worry because the best blogger in the world, nay the galaxy is here to show you the light. This is why YouTube needs to fix a really broken system.
Let me be clear. I understand you should have the rights to your own content. If someone is infringing that by uploading things like full movies and TV episodes they need to be taken care of. Which besides some really annoying examples they are. When I say there copyright system is broken I'm more talking about there claiming system.
You know that saying innocent until proven guilty. I love that saying, to me it is the foundation of fair justice. Well apparently YouTube decided to take that saying lite it on fire, throw it thru a window, then take a grenade throw it thru the same window watch it explode and roast marshmallows over the fiery exploded hole that use to be a window! Because even if you post a video that is 100% original you can still get it taken down, it's ad revenue siphoned or even your whole channel taken away from a copyright claim. I do understand that if there is any content that could threaten the website it should be taken care of. I don't have much of a problem with there first reaction, it's what comes after that bothers me.
YouTube is slower than a snail on sleeping pills, towing a house and wearing cement shoes. these unfair claims can take anywhere from a week to months to fix. All of that time the creator makes no money off that content. That brings me to my second problem there is no penalty for making a false claim. So some one said something you don't like just hit them with a copyright claim. Now technically you can bring them to court for this but most low to middle class YouTubers don't have the money to do that.
There is to much to cover on this topic for this blog (and after all got to save some of it for the video right). I have barely touched the surface here but hopefully you understand a bit more about every ones favorite train wreck.

ReplyDeleteAhhh, the YouTube copyright system. Such a magical entity, filled with wonder and excitement........KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!
ReplyDeletewhile not being around on youtube long enough (or enough popularity for that matter), i haven't been subjected to the copyright stuff yet. But one of my favorite channels, Pokemon Reorchestrated (reorchestrated pokemon music) was taken down due to copyright clams. the kicker being the guy got all the copyrights and regular rights already done and paid for before it happened. so there shouldn't have been an issue. Pokemon and nintendo for that matter may be a bit protective of their company (taking down a legend of zelda 3d NES remake in tribute to Zelda's thirtieth anniversary), but this system needs to be... whats the word? ...NUKED THEN KILLED WITH FIRE!!!
very practical post. keep it up!
