Aren't these processes mostly automated? Is it possible that not a single human has so far been involved on behalf of the copyright holder?

- rob74 3y agoProbably no human was involved on Google's/YouTube's side either - watch out puny humans trying to operate YouTube channels, the machines are coming for you!
- tremon 3y agoIf true, does that make the situation better or worse?
- sp332 3y agoFor a DMCA takedown, someone has to sign that they looked at it. I'm not aware of anyone actually getting in trouble for that though. And YouTube's ContentID is designed for automated takedowns.
- stayfrosty420 3y agoFor music this is the case AFAIK.
- Inhibit 3y agoIn my case it was. Got an automatic flag on an work composed, performed, recorded, and released by the Air Force Band of the Pacific. Turns out someone was re-selling it on media and the label had auto-filed all their holdings. So you'd get flagged on every usage. The sergeant in charge of the correspondence for the band was annoyed but as YouTube is private there honestly wasn't anything they could do (other than write me a polite response to send on that I was correct). I did make them aware of it in the unlikely event someone else asks, though. Annoyingly enough YouTube doesn't take down the automatic match even when it's a false claim from what I saw.
