- A Copyright lawyer reacts to Paul Davids' video regarding scam content ID claims he received on some of his videos: "The Exploitation of TH-cam's Copyright Policy." @PaulDavids
The video discusses DMCA takedown notices and how counternotices and litigation can be used to fight back.
I think a part of this is the amount of time and effort required to process the large number of claims. For a content creator, it's not only prohibitive in cost and risk, but also starts to eat into their motivation to create.
It also seems that Google's / TH-cam's policies are not always honoured by TH-cam themselves, and the automated tools they provide are very limited in the options for redress.
Finally, being a US company, Paul, based in EU probably just does not know where to start to get 'legal redress'' to his issues. I hope you and other 'fair use' legal experts can push back on this. It is ruining the content.
Thank you for the post and good points, especially about Paul being in Europe, which could well be a motivator. That said, it's not just Paul who talks this way about being reluctant to push back. It's also people like Rick Beato who are in the U.S. I can see not pushing back on videos where fair use is a close call. And I can see not pushing back if a content ID claim is made on a video that isn't getting viewed that much more, anyway. But I am curious why on videos that are generating a lot of views, that are clearly fair use (or the claim is clearly by a scammer), there is as much reluctance about getting a DMCA takedown notice. I assume that there is fear of litigation, even if it would be frivolous, or perhaps TH-cam doesn't remove the copyright strikes like I assume that they do, or something else. Maybe they feel like they need to stay on the good side of the major rights holders, too. I don't know.
I subscribed because this content is very interesting, but I could have done without the crude innuendo (2:44).
Thank you for the sub and the comment, always good to hear what people think.
