I was just reading through those pages(thanks, Thatguy), and I'm still baffled. According to them, many original works are being claimed there. Some of them absurd ones. According to that blog post --- Quote ---I read some person recorded an alarm siren and s/he was hit with a copyright notice. --- End quote --- Holy shit, they plagiarized Lady Gaga! That Mozart Requiem video, too, I didn't get the chance to watch before the audioswap, but it seems quite clear that it was played by the uploader himself. |

As you're probably already aware, Youtube automatically scans its content for copyrighted material. It's not unreasonable to imagine the algorithm is making at least a few mistakes. Now as for why Youtube scans for copyrighted stuff in the first place--naturally, it's been under heavy scrutiny from the media companies almost since the beginning. Even moreso when internal e-mails, making quite clear that Youtube benefited from infringing videos (and didn't think much of big media in general), came up in discovery during Viacom's lawsuit. Really, Youtube's rightsholder support is likely the only reason it won the suit. |
