It doesn't seem to hurt Google's business, but I won't upload stuff anymore.
- marcosscriven 11y agoI'm curious how that would be found so quickly - presumably it would have to be the title, because performances are individual. And why would Google even take such a claim seriously? If you're playing Bach clearly no one has a claim.
- such_a_casual 11y agoIt doesn't work like that. You can take down any video instantly just by filing a copyright against it.
- jacquesm 11y agoIt would appear to me that that is a knife that cuts both ways.

Although their request for special treatment shows they just want YouTube to expedite cases that they care about. http://www.theguardian.com/media/2008/oct/15/john-mccain-youtube http://www.theguardian.com/media/2008/oct/15/john-mccain-you... > "But we believe it would consume few resources - and provide enormous benefit - for YouTube to commit to a full legal review of all takedown notices on videos posted from accounts controlled by (at least) political candidates and campaigns."
- wlesieutre 11y agoNobody at Google looks at the claim, they've got an automatic process where somebody says "I own this." and Google says "OK!"
- e40 11y agoMy understanding is they apply heuristics to the video and audio. They might be Google. Or others, I just don't know.
