Ok, put me in jail (I just flagged yer message)! I agree though that there should be severe penalty for large scale, intentional false flagging with intent to profit or cause losses to someone else. Smaller scale "accidents" that slip through from companies that do mass flagging should probably have at least a small penalty, and if the flag caused monetization to shift in favor of the false claimant, then all of that income must be returned to the rightful owner. This would disincentivize false flagging, and incentivize companies to fix their shit (or stop mass flagging until they figure out something that doesn't have so many false positives). AIUI the current system on YT is completely in favor of those who fraudlently claim copyright, because they have nothing to lose and something to gain. This is all Google's fault as far as I can tell. Ultimately Goog will need to do human review in cases of dispute but they're already doing that anyway for other reasons (e.g. child porn, gore, and other content that isn't allowed on the site). Though I'd really prefer that this isn't handled by Google at all. It should go to courts, and if it's too much paperwork for courts to handle the flood of copyright cases, then it's on the lawmakers to fix their broken laws and make the system workable. One can dream..
