If you don't want to sign away those rights, you can manually track content and file DMCA requests. Per the article, YouTube is responding to those promptly. Vasallo isn't entitled to have his cake and eat it too - he can either opt into the automated system with all that implies, or take on the Sisyphean task of identifying infringing videos himself.
- lupire 6y agoIt's only sisyphean because Google actively hides their catalog from copyright enforcers. Responsibility flows from their self-imposed exclusivity.
- hakfoo 6y agoThere's an adversarial relationship there. We have ample evidence that rightsholders often overstep their legal bounds, demanding takedowns for fair use or even stuff they literally don't own. Giving them an easier way to browse their catalog could well increase the number or scale of bad-faith removal requests. I could frankly see some firms that imagine if they got the right tools, they could legal-DoS YouTube to death, and obviously all the former viewers would come running to their $15-per-month walled-gardens.
