Luckily, YouTube has a system to prevent copyright infringement. With so much content and so many eyes on the site, it is really frustrating (and potentially damaging to your reputation) when someone takes your copyrighted work and uses it for their gain. Every single day, over one billion hours of content are consumed on YouTube. VGP was back in action days later but was terminated again in January 2019 due to VideoGameCollectionHD flagging videos.YouTube is a massive online social media platform that attracts nearly half of all internet users. VGP closed its channel in early 2017 and came back the next year, but the assailant used another channel, VideoGameCollectionHD, to continue flagging videos for copyright infringement, leading to the termination of VGP.
Since then, the assailant abused multiple accounts, some of which impersonate VGP. Prior to this incident, VGP blocked NintendoGamingHD due to posting a comment that exposes personal information. Because VGP was on a MCN partnership at the time, its channel was semi-protected and could not be terminated, although it had 3+ strikes at the time. For example, in 2016, NintendoGamingHD flagged videos owned by VideoGamePhenom for copyright infringement, resulting in the takedown of nearly 60 videos, although the videos clearly did not match of what NintendoGamingHD had on hand. This is the work of bots having no valid claims to any copyright, trying to carpet bomb DMCA notices for various illegal reasons such as trying to ruin a competitor.įor other purposes, some individual users may flag videos another users owns for copyright infringement, although the alleged content that commits infringement does not match the video the flagger owns, even if the video quality or duration do not match.
This may relate to the fact 99.95 percent of DMCA takedown notices are actually sent at random URLs that could have existed (valid format) but is not actually used at all at the point in time the takedown notice is sent. Some publishers on YouTube report not understanding why they have received strikes. In a similar incident to such strikes, though in another forum, Sony issued an automated copyright strike against James Rhodes for a video on Facebook of him playing part of a piece by Bach, on the grounds that they owned the copyright on a similar recording, and when the strike was challenged, asserted that they owned the rights to the work, before finally admitting that Bach's compositions are in the public domain. For example, Miracle of Sound was hit with multiple copyright strikes as a result of automated strikes by the distributor of their own music.
They assert that copyright violation, in this context, has been used as a strategy to suppress criticism.Ĭopyright strikes have also been issued against creators themselves. YouTube creators have reported receiving copyright strikes on videos which are critical of corporate products. Various YouTube creators have reported receiving copyright strikes for using media in the context of fair use. Reasons Disagreements about what constitutes fair useįair use is a legal rationale for reusing copyrighted content in a limited way, such as to discuss or criticize other media.
