EEVblog and CodysLab are scams?
Why haven't i heard about this? Do you have any source?
- ipsum2 8y agoNot GP but they probably mean the opposite - other people are copying EEVBlog/CodysLab videos, and then copystriking them.
- anonlapwarmer 8y agoYes... Media they've used, sometimes that they've created themselves or used that's clearly in the public domain, has been content ID'ed by others in an attempt to extort them. It's gotten to the point where on YT one basically has to have a pointless media channel to upload original music / video to content ID before using it in other videos.
- LeonM 8y agoNo, the OP meant it the other way around. Both channels were copyright striked multiple times by trolls. Both Cody and Dave (eevblog) did multiple videos on it explaining the situation.
- codedokode 8y agoShould not the trolls sending fake copyright claims be held responsible then? This doesn't look very legal.
- LeonM 8y agoThat is also true for patent trolls, but that doesn't stop them. In the case of youtube the problem is that the strike is done by an automated system, and getting it fixed is a really frustrating experience because you can't talk to a human. For those who rely on youtube for their income, these copyright strikes are a major concern and source of anxiety.
- codedokode 8y agoI cannot agree. The fault is on those who send fake takedown requests, not on Youtube. They should repay the profit that could be lost because of the takedown.
