This will eventually go in a Signing because I forgot originally: Eighty5cacao 10:09, 29 March 2012 (MST) - Q: Isn't Magibon a YouTube Partner? Aren't YouTube Partners given less scrutiny from the Copyrobeast on the assumption that they have already been screened for copyright violations? A: I specifically mentioned Magibon in order to highlight the risk of bad-faith actions by copyright holders. In this interview, Magibon mentions difficulties with talent agencies. [Consider this thought experiment:] Suppose several major record labels and movie studios started today a conspiracy to get Magibon banned from YouTube using Content ID. How long would it take for the public to find out? By then, would it be too late? [More to the point,] how do we know that such a conspiracy is not already in progress? The answer is, we don't. Or run the argument in reverse: How do we know that Magibon is not submitting her own content to Content ID, [perhaps] under a misleading company name, in an attempt to get someone else banned? Again, we don't [know for sure]. [TODO: "Misleading" includes "overly generic" as well as "written in Japanese to confuse English speakers." How stringently do Google/YouTube employees screen for such abuses? Find sources] [Yes, I know that false positives happen.] Quantity is more important than quality; the offender doesn't have to submit highly targeted samples. S/he just has to submit a sufficiently large number of samples in order to raise the false-positive rate as desired. [Of course, insider knowledge about the matching algorithms may be helpful too...] |
All the above is outdated; almost everything is playable via HTML5 on modern browsers, so that doesn't mean much by itself. What is evident is that no yellow dots indicating the times of ads show up on the seek bar for any of Magibon's videos. --Eighty5cacao (talk) 04:04, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Your comment about Dailymotion gave me an idea:
For example, draft versions of a video of a game I'm working on were posted here first. Good or bad idea? --Tepples (talk) 20:45, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
For the record, Fuji Television has made some attempts to enforce its GameCenter CX copyright on Dailymotion as well; the fansub group in question is moving to two other video hosts (I'd prefer not to disclose which ones, at least until I know everything is settled).
It's worth mentioning the possibility of using a general-purpose file host; for example, ZetaPlays temporarily used SpiderOak with a Flash player of unknown origin after a spurious suspension of his YouTube account. --Eighty5cacao (talk) 04:27, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
original title: The Copyrobeast won
The Copyrobeast lost a couple battles but may have won the war. Though Veoh and Google successfully defended themselves in lawsuits from IO Group and Viacom challenging the scope of OCILLA protection for service providers, it proved so costly that Veoh went bankrupt three years ago and Google is planning to shut down YouTube this April. Google is trying to cover it up by announcing that YouTube has been an eight-year contest to find the best short film. But how many people will this coverup fool? --Tepples (talk) 22:00, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
It is confirmed that certain large copyright owners have access to the "Content Management System", which allows the copyright owner to manually claim and block a particular video without using the automated Content ID system or the formal OCILLA process.(ref)Mike Masnick.

Any objections to taking this article into mainspace? --Tepples (talk) 17:05, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
There probably would have been a better place to post this (Talk:Songs that sound alike?) but...
This Robo Roll demo mentioned on the NESdev forums was misidentified by Content ID as an entirely different meme-worthy song (You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)). --Eighty5cacao (talk) 00:47, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
Once we have one more article or draft about a neologism, would it be worth creating a template similar to {{WMG}}
and {{or is good}}
to warn readers?
To what extent does "Android pod touch" count as a neologism? --Eighty5cacao (talk) 05:18, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

My mind has often toyed with the idea that several years from now, merely attempting to watch a YouTube video unavailable for copyright reasons may lead to sanctions against the IP or account. I am unaware of any evidence that Google is considering such a (mis)feature. IANAL, and I know you aren't either, so I'm not going to guess (or ask for guesses) about the legal justifications or lack thereof; all I can say is that comments/questions are welcome. --Eighty5cacao (talk) 05:04, 29 March 2015 (UTC) (subsequent minor edits: 17:35, 11 January 2016 (UTC))
