I’m very biased here, but I think the law is going to eventually be net positive not because is so good, but because there is another (DMCA in US and E-commerce directive in EU) that allow platforms to use content without compensation. Thi

My email is r@pex.com The way this works is that you send all content through us via our SDK which generates fingerprints (so content doesn’t exchange hands). If the rightsholder is registered with us (it’s free), then we can take care of e

Not sure what are you trying to say, but no law gets anything right. That said, the current market is very one-sided where platforms abuse both sides (creators and rightsholders) while nobody can do nothing about it. So I welcome the govern

They were forced to this because of the impending legislation in EU [0] which forces them to do so. Germany is toying with what they call pre-filtering, which would allow creator/user to state fair use/exception prior identificati

Can't speak for YouTube, but we[0] solved issues like this by making public domain the first class citizen of the system. Once a work enters a public domain in any of the 195 countries, is no longer possible to register it in our syste
