That seems like almost criminally incompetent by YT. They don't even look at upload timestamps in whatever automated or manual process they use for this?

- icebraining 11y agoYou can't assume the videos are owned by someone just because they uploaded them first - many videos are ripped from other sources and uploaded first by unlicensed parties. They followed the same procedures as described in the DMCA (even if this probably wasn't an official takedown request): if someone claims they represent the copyright holder and the videos are infringing, the service provider must take them down expeditiously.
- marincounty 11y agoI haven't seen YouTube care about customer's concern after the acquisition by Google? That is unless the video gets a lot of attention, or you are someone other than me? I have videos up I literally can't get off. Their was a password clitch in their software when Google bought YouTube. I tried to get to my account, and got tired of hearing, "Go to the help boards sir-". I got to the point where it just wasen't worth the frustration. Too bad--at one time I really liked YouTube! Now--I only go there when absolutely necessary; Then I turn down the sound--try to guess when the skip advertisement pops up, watch, and gone for months. (I have used YouTube from pretty much day one. I put up self help stuff for Contractors --A lot of This is How you put in a Hydronic Heating System. They were terrible, but I always had the option to remove/replace? I can now only get to them as a commenter. In one video, my dog died the previous week, and you could tell in my voice I wasen't doing well. Even one commenter suggested I should redo the video. I explained to him in the comment section I can't even get to the video.)
