What keeps bugging me with the whole copyright dilemma on Youtube and Twitch is that it very much feels like a "guilty upon accusation, only innocent when proven otherwise" situation.
In my opinion it's fine that an algorithm _detects_ usage of copyrighted material, but it should not automatically issue strikes of any kind.
For copyright claims (false or valid) content producers should be treated "innocent unless proven otherwise", as in, the copyright holder has to prove that usage does not fall under fair-use.
- judge2020 5y agoNote that it doesn't issue strikes, it only either blocks the video or directs ad revenue to the (alleged) copyright owner. You could get 100 content ID detections and not lose your account (although YouTube might suspend you for abuse if you just continuously upload hundreds of hours of copyrighted material).
- w4rh4wk5 5y agoThanks for clarifying that. Yes, I mixed up the strike and content ID thing. Still you loose money, something that should (IMHO) not happen just because a system / copyright holder _thinks_ you _might_ be infringing. After watching Tom Scott's video linked somewhere here, I get where this comes from and that it is more of a problem with copyright in itself and the way entities with money can leverage that.
