This is true. The vast majority of YouTube takedowns are via the Content ID system, outnumbering copyright claims 50 to 1. But that doesn't tell the entire story.
The reason why YouTube has such a robust Content ID system in the first place is inherently due to DMCA. The less automated DMCA complaints YouTube receives, the less damage control and legal overhead it will be as expenditure.
- kube-system 5y agoGoogle’s legal overhead would be way worse in the absence of the DMCA, if we were playing by the rules of plain-old copyright. As they wouldn’t have the standardized process and safe harbor that DMCA provides. Reading C&Ds that come in on paper via certified mail is very labor intensive. They’d need Content ID even more in that case.
