> Which part of copyright law is the ContentID part? It's not in DMCA 512 anywhere I can see.
It's a measure to avoid legal ramifications under the DMCA and other acts.
> Many competing video services don't have anything like ContentID. But they also don't have priority search results on google.com, so content creators don't want to use them.
It's only a matter of time that they'll fold due to lack of interest, fold due to lawsuits, or implement ContentID or similar. Or they'll restrict and moderate uploads manually which has exactly the same effect, or perhaps even worse (still erring on the side of legal caution).
- AnthonyMouse 5y ago> It's a measure to avoid legal ramifications under the DMCA and other acts. Why would there be "legal ramifications" for someone complying with the ordinary DMCA notice and takedown process? > It's only a matter of time that they'll fold due to lack of interest, fold due to lawsuits, or implement ContentID or similar. It has been decades. They're still there. The lack of popularity is for the reason already mentioned. If your YouTube video gets on the first page of Google search results and the exact same video hosted on some other site doesn't, what are content creators going to use?
