The YouTube copyright claim process isn't DMCA.
- tssva 4y agoThe initial copyright claim process isn't DMCA, but if you dispute a copyright claim and lose you can then appeal that decision. The DMCA process then takes over. YouTube requires the claimant to file a DMCA take down notice to continue the process. If they do not then the claim is removed. If they do then you can follow the DMCA counter notice process.
- kmeisthax 4y agoEarly on YouTube didn't even treat disputes as on the same track as DMCA - if your appeal got rejected they'd just side with the claimant and you had no further recourse. It's possible that this happened that long ago. Of course, even being able to DMCA counter-notice isn't really a help, because you're just telling the claimnant to sue. You even have to dox yourself. What people want is to just not have to deal with copyright in these specific cases where there is no element of copyright being infringed.

- kmeisthax 4y agoThey take a dim view of this attitude when it's a transparent attempt at dodging liability. The relative success of anti-SLAPP statues and motions would indicate that there is at least some empathy for "not forcing people who have not committed a crime to prove that they haven't committed a crime".
