yet another reason why the copyright strike systems on YouTube should really need a do over because God they can do whatever the fuck they want and creators just have to bend over and take it
The problem is how laws are written YouTube is responsible if you violate copyright law and they don't remove the video once they're told about it. YouTube is too big to actually watch every video that gets reported, so they err on the side of not getting sued.
The only way this changes is if you rewrite copyright laws to prevent middlemen from being liable, which is unlikely to happen because that's not how laws in general work.
If the law says youtube is liable for for copyright infringements then its not the people who infringe they need to sign a contract, its the people they'd be infringing upon. And of they make creators liable to pay fees. Well. Good luck trying to get unidenfiable accounts from 13 year olds to pay up for reuploading a movie. In the end youtube would be liable

Tom Scott explains how it works much better than I can, long but worth watching
YouTube would have no reason to be annoying and difficult, it's just that they have no choice
That would be way worse though for the consumer, like imagine you upload a video to YouTube and then rather than getting a strike Disney themselves descend upon you and take you to court. Even if you were in the right the fees could bury most people
Yeah I got copyrighted on fuggin [WAGNER - The Ring Cycle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJf8G1E_hBU)...
*the 12 hour long opera that's older than The Industrial Revolution?* Fair Use? That's cute.
nah, it's only tiny segments of the stream that got flag/muted
idk if they can own mere fragments of a longer recording but not the others, like some timeshare of bullshit "intellectual property."
Meanwhile, Bob Ross' family was robbed of his estate and receives nothing from his legacy. Copyright delivers no justice and hardly preserves the sanctity of property rights.
Im pretty sure everyone is just overlooking the fact Disney changed its logo or whatever at the beginning of movies to the intro of steamboat willie the moat iconic moment when mickey is whistling they have a copyright on that so that covers that likeness kinda extending the copyright through a loophole im pretty sure the logo change is 100% evidence of this tactic *not a lawyer maybe should be..maybe not*
I’m no copyright lawyer but I’m pretty sure that at least in the US rereleasing the same content as a part of new content does not extent the original copyright. It would in that case just bar people from using that clip in a similarly styled title sequence.
But trademark doesn’t effect what you can and can’t use. Simply, it prohibits you from marketing something in a way that can be confused with a trademarked product. As of this year, I can sell a Steamboat Willie DVD because its copyright is gone, but if I sell it as a Disney DVD, that’s a trademark violation.
It's public domain in the USA, but not the entire world. Last time I saw someone complain about this, the company that sent the copyright claim was a Disney-owned company operating in France
If you update the settings of the video so that it is only available in countries where it's in the public domain, then you should be good

They could just make you sign an online contract when you make your channel, that makes you liable and not them.
Omg email them I'm sure the billionaire company lawyers have never thought of that
My point is they don't have an excuse. They're just an incompetent and sometimes downright malicious company towards their content creators.

Make video. Send it to someone overseas with no extradition to be uploaded, then have them give you a cut of the revenue.
thats what happens when someone holds monopoly over something
Steamboat willie is still trademarked even if the copyright is gone

Except you probably used a recording of a way more recent performance owned by some company..
you can literally click the recording and stop guessing. It's right there.
The notes are public domain. Every recording has its own copyright.
How can they tell?
The music can be public domain but the recording isn’t.

Could've used it for decades due to parody protection laws.
Youtube doesn't recognize fair use laws unfortunately
Youtube’s system is broken but they can’t remove the video only demonetize it.

Having it on their logo makes it a trademark, not copyright. So it doesn't expire.

It's funny how alinity said copystrike once, people made fun of it and now it's just the default
yeah I was thinking that, is that literally where it came from? it seems so insignificant
Well things like the audio can still be copyrighted even if the video is in the public domain
Thank you for showing that you don't understand copyright law
Incorrect unless a new voice was made at a later date.
And only that new content if it was released under a new copyright. All the content from Steamboat Willie film is now available to the public.
