They get reuploaded to Facebook, where they go viral without crediting the author.
If you're a content creator trying to build an audience, it definetly hurts when people already saw your content elsewhere.
- pluma 10y ago> reuploaded To quote your ggp: > [re-uploading videos] _may_ classify as copyright infringement. [downloading YouTube videos] definitely does not. And your gp: > [Downloading YouTube videos] violates YouTube's terms of service and hurts the artists. And your parent: > Evidence required. So... why are we talking about re-uploading again as if downloading was the same thing?
- spiderfarmer 10y agoI never said all downloads are hurting content creators. I am saying if it was not possible to download them, the creators would be better off.
- pluma 10y agoSure, and if companies wouldn't have to pay taxes, they would make more money. If perfectly legal, permissible, expected and ethically justifiable behaviour hurts your bottom line, your business model is broken, not your customers.
- tekromancr 10y agoNo, because if it were not possible to download them, it wouldn't be possible to watch them in the first place.
