As an example of what can happen under regimes where 'right holders' are disproportional advantaged over content creators: A third party rights management provider just copyright claimed seemingly any Youtube video that contained any soundparts that were also found in one of their client's videos. Now their clients are often very small content creators such as people posting videos of their Twitch game playing streams to YouTube as a VoD archive. Now imagine that this one gamestreamer client of theirs plays a game that contains a cutscene (as most games do). Now every other gamestreamer with YouTube archives will find every video that had them playing that game copyright striked, as the cutscenes from the game played where ofc identical to those cutscenes in the other guys video. This really happened [1], and resulting in those types of channels now having to manually dispute the demonetization on each and every one of their videos in their (sometimes very extensive) catalogues. The very small company in question, Illustrated Sound Music, claims it was just a 'mistake', and yes, in most cases they will not gain more than a few pennies per video as apparently most of the stuff they hit has just a handful of views, but pennies per video from millions and millions of videos add up to a nice sum.
