I did some in depth research a year ago and linked to all the Google resources there. See https://www.reddit.com/r/YoutubeCompendium/comments/aga8yl/h... and also see the EFF link there. Specifically, h

Got any links? The only exception I'm aware of is a special agreement Google has with UMG where they ignore counternotices and appeals, but they also don't count as strikes and won't hurt the account in that case.

If it's a liveihood issue, there's a 7 day grace period for anyone that's monetized before the account is shut down due to blocks. And if Google was widely ignoring counternotices there'd be lots of stories about it out

I'm well aware. If you dispute content ID claim the content owner must submit a DMCA notice to keep the claim active.

The strike isn't removed until after ten days, but the effects are paused during that period. The content will stay down during that period but the account is fine. I don't want to ascribe particular motivations to Google here, bu

What policy here is questionable, what automatic decision here is buggy? You don't need any virality to get a DMCA counternotice accepted.

by ikeboy 7y ago
This is incorrect. If a rights owner refuses to retract in the face of a dispute, YouTube will require them to convert it into a DMCA notice and will then honor any counternotice.

by ikeboy 7y ago
Which is why I felt the need to clarify, since OP is somewhat misleading. A strike is a DMCA notice that's submitted. That can be counternoticed and the only way to prevent that is filing a lawsuit within 10 business days.

I don't understand how people comment without reading the source. It clearly explains what happened - they had a feature in production that was disclosed to the user, and an update inadvertently removed the disclosure without removing

Perhaps. My "why are states in that business" was meant as a moral question, not a factual question.

1. I'm perfectly fine with mandatory liability insurance. Requiring assurance that someone can pay for any damage they do before granting them access to our roads is fine. 2. "state governments have also determined that it's

If those characteristics are higher risk, then they should be priced higher. And if they aren't higher risk, then a company using them to discriminate will be outcompeted by a company that is not. You realize that, say, age is a protec

If the insurance is required to pay any judgements against the company, they will pay. The system works for car insurance - you must carry liability insurance if you drive.

Worth taking a look at the proposed law by this person, linked downthread. One of the proposals is to require all foreign sellers to have insurance to cover any legal judgements. This would effectively solve that issue, and insurance compan

There's 6 examples. Out of those, only the first 2 are fakes using the brand name. How exactly is 33% "almost all"? 3 says "Although the YXTDZ booster is not trying to pass itself off as a Mifold by name, it’s clearly a

Several of the examples in OP are admittedly not counterfeit but simply look too similar to a name brand, or are older versions. Neither is illegal per se. (Assuming there's no design patent, and the product page doesn't specify y

And if you had to liquidate all of Apple's assets, or Google, or Microsoft, or any public company in a short period of time, you'd realize a much lower value than their reported book values. Your point?

Why didn't they just file a Doe lawsuit against the person who actually wrote the emails and get a court order taking everything down? That would likely have worked instead of the approach they did take. I haven't read the case s

I'm not an active seller anymore so I can't check how it currently works. I believe it did show whether the return is in or out of policy. I'm also not sure if there's actually a deny return button, or only an accept but

Amazon has been in thousands of legal cases throughout the years. Nobody really cares. Besides, small claims cases don't really create a record.

Frankly, because the team that sets policy is different from the team that makes the buttons. The policy has lots of exceptions - e.g. some categories can't be returned, like groceries. To disable that button, they'd have to check
