Why can't it work something like this:
* As a YouTube channel owner you have the option of officially registering your channel with verified contact information.
* A video you have uploaded gets flagged by a bot.
* YouTube mutes the content and immediately texts you an alert.
* If you have opted to officially register with YouTube, you are given the ability to text back a countermand to the alert.
* If you countermand the copyright violation flag, your video is immediately unmuted, and the copyright holder receives instructions that if it still believes the content is an IP violation, commencing legal proceedings are the next option.
* If and only if the copyright holder affirms to Google that it will follow through with legal proceedings, it is given your contact information.
- rickbutton 6y agoBecause Google has a financial interest in keeping these malicious "rights holders" happy and profits from the stealing of profits from YouTube creators. Until it becomes illegal, or YouTubers organize, Google will continue to steal from creators.
