    Fact: I stopped doing YTPs in 2013 because one of my King of the Hill parodies was flagged a dozen times, and even caused my account to receive a copyright strike, which hindered my ability to upload newer videos at the time. Also, a friend of mine who's an indie horror filmmaker once uploaded a short film he made which had a 100% original soundtrack that was composed by another friend of ours. His video got automatically copyright claimed by some EDM artist in Japan, because one of the notes in my friend's soundtrack sounded similar to the same synthesizer used in the Japanese channel's song. Thus, they put ads on his video and gave all of the revenue to the EDM musician in Japan.

Most of my chiptune covers never got claimed, but a few did: "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden, "Dogs" by Pink Floyd, and "Heart Shaped Box" by Nirvana all got claimed and my ad revenue was funneled to their record companies. I also got my chiptune cover of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" claimed by Disney, but I filed an appeal to prove that the song was actually a public domain classical music song, and not the specific song from Fantasia.

    Gaijin, the developers of War Thunder, use to copyright system to remove videos about their game they don't like and are very open about it.
    Most recently, a guy did a video about rampant hacking in the community, the video was claimed and removed, and when called out, they said it was policy to remove any content that mentions hacks.
    They removed something from a platform they don't own for their own internal policy. Nobody should have that kind of power, but here we are.

    There's actually an exception to "Bootlegger".
    While it's true that a lot of full episode uploads aren't exactly legal, there are companies who have uploaded full episodes of their shows. In master quality too. Whether it be to thier own channels, or a sister channel for that show. It is hard to tell the difference at times, but it is legal since they DO own the rights.
    These channels include WildBrain (LazyTown, The Super Mario Bros. Super Show, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Johnny Test), TreehouseTV (Little Bear, Franklin, Max and Ruby, Rolie Polie Olie), and of course, channels like Sesame Street and Peppa Pig.
    If you ask me, I'd put that somewhere between "Mr. Clean" and "Cold Turkey". While they don't get taken down because of Content ID (they rarely get taken down at all), what usually happens is that the people running the channel block them in certain countries because the distribution rights holder for that country suddenly decided to change thier minds. And it isn't illegal at all because, once again, they own the rights.

    • @observer5615
      @observer5615 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      you aren't talking about the company's host distributor in that country because it's stupid to even think that company's host going to have more control over rights then the parent company, Then doesn't the distribution rights holder also holds the rights of the show in their country?!!! And also if the owner(who wants to upload the show globally) has just the rights of their show in USA and not copyrighted the material in any other countries or top on that sold it's copyright to other country's distribution rights holder, like an idiot then it doesn't make the company guilty who sold their rights and now wanna have full control over that material....

    I know I am super late to this video, but as someone studying media production... yep, once attended a seminar on copyright for extra credit, was met with a discussion on claiming people using your content on TH-cam. From everyone in my class to you all, we are about as soulless as you think we are because the industry beats the desire to care out of you.
    In all seriousness, this is why I changed my mind away from working in film and tv, to radio.

    Waaaaay back in the day, like no more than a year into TH-cam's existence, I decided to upload my favorite clip from Late Night with Conan O'Brien. I didn't know anything about copyright laws and was under the impression anything was fair game. I ripped the clip from a file sharing website and very proudly uploaded it. 24 hours later I didn't just receive a copyright strike from TH-cam, I received a cease and desist type email from NBC Universal threatening me with legal action. It scared the crap out of a young me and I immediately deleted the video.

The appeal system is ridiculous. If the UFC took my video down, how in the hell is appealing to them to reinstate it going to work? No one was watching an hour long documentary as a way to circumvent paying the UFC money to watch an 8 minute long fight, the video was 100% in the category of fair use and transformative, but as long as the copyright holders are the people who decide whether or not a video stays up, creators who use copyrighted works stand ZERO chance of getting their stuff unblocked

      Copyright needs to be abolished and STAY abolished.
      It was never about artists rights in the first place anyway (it was always a sneaky censorship tool) and at best it only protected the shittiest of publishers who would fuck the artists (that the copyright was supposedly made for) over relentlessly with.
      This is also ignoring that copyright (and patents) lets someone who did something decades ago collect money on said work that they've often done no work on since.

    I think you missed an important point about copyright and poops;
    Posting a full film on TH-cam is for people who haven’t seen it yet and taking away a potential audience member.
    Poops use the film that a viewer has already seen to poke fun at something. The poop assumes you’ve already seen it, isn’t replacing the film and is being used for something the potential audience member isn’t going to find in the original.

    Something I've slowly been realizing is that the internet has, ironically, made it more likely than ever that noteworthy media vanishes forever.
    Original TH-cam content is remarkably ephemeral, between copyright claims of varying bogusness and the occasional creator breakdown followed by mass deletion of videos.
    Streaming services for TV and movies are constantly swapping who owns the rights to what, while driving down the demand for physical releases, meaning something could very easily vanish off the net and not have a physical version anywhere.
    And the general attitudes of digital media companies does not leave me with any faith that if, say, that book I just bought on Kindle were to get wiped from their servers in a freak accident, that Amazon would do anything to get it back or compensate me.
    I've started to become a media hoarder. Do I wanna watch a TV show? I'll buy the DVD or Blu-Ray, and if I can't I'll pirate it and keep it on a hard drive, safe and sound where no one can go "Netflix has the rights. No wait, Hulu has the rights. No wait, Amazon has the rights." I don't use Spotify, I purchase Mp3s from Google Play and iTunes, and keep them on SD cards, because I no longer have faith that the music I like will be there tomorrow.
    I'm seriously worried that one day, 30 years from now, I won't be able to enjoy the media I like now, even though it's no problem for me to go out and buy a copy of basically anything major from 30 years ago now.

    • @Maddbox11235
      @Maddbox11235 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@nelzelpher2088 I mean, Mp3 files are a fairly safe bet. You can just copy them onto spare hard drives, SD cards, flash drives, etc. A 64gb flash drive will run like $15 USD, and can hold enough music that you could play music nonstop for a week and never repeat a song. You can make a spare copy, keep it in a storage locker or at a family member's house or something, and have a backup. And since it's standardized computer file with a non-proprietary format, it should still work on any computer made after the early 2000s. Assuming you'll live a full life and die sometime in the 2090s, you'll still be able to either play Mp3s on whatever sort of computer we use then, or be able to get a second or third year computer science student to program an Mp3 player in exchange for a case of beer.
      If you're a part of the very small crowd who can, in fact, tell the difference between an Mp3 and high quality vinyl records, there are other computer formats. Look into lossless audio compression. Downside is that lossless formats require a lot more space.
      After that, well, it gets tricky. CDs are easy to burn with a computer with a CD drive, but are easy to scratch up. Cassette tapes are bulky and wear out with enough use. Not to mention, tape decks aren't mass-produced like they used to be, and have a lot of moving parts that will eventually break. Vinyl records are even bulkier than cassettes, can get scratched, and require specialized equipment to copy.
