Why are they allowed to monetize so much pirated/freebooted content?
- lovich 9y agoToo big to jail
- thebokehwokeh2 9y agoBecause they're facebook. They have no competition.
- jdavis703 9y agoYou can monetize content as long as you make good faith attempts to remove it when you get alerted about it according to the DMCA.
- fpisfun 9y agoIt's doomed to fail. YouTube allows creators to profit and build businesses for themselves. Facebook shares none of it's revenue with creators and this is not a sustainable model in the long term.
- ec109685 9y agoThey will be sharing the 6 second proceeds with creators to encourage more creators to post content to Facebook.
- mcintyre1994 9y agoEven if they are sharing with uploaders, they're less creators and more freeloaders pirating other people's YouTube content in most cases so this is pretty irrelevant at best.
- Veratyr 9y agoBecause they haven't done enough to piss off the RIAA/MPAA and get a billion dollar lawsuit yet. They're only abusing smaller creators who can't afford to do anything serious about it.
- skeletonjelly 9y agoGood point. And Facebook arguably has more money to throw at their lawyers than anyone else (apart from Apple and Google)
