You don't own that YouTube video you uploaded (Content ID Claims)

<< < (2/2)

kat:
It gets better. EA dragged into YouTube paid coverage dispute (MCV). This is a pretty big deal for vloggers and just adds to the Content ID Claim mess because the system itself appears to be automated (via their API - it seems highly unlikely that a person is flagging content due to the number of claims made and the speed with which that is being done. Ed.). So whilst EA can make, what appear to YouTube and the proverbial vlogger at least, a 'valid' CID claim against a user and their content infringements automatically, it's effectively being done in error due to there being no verification checks against claimed content being paid-for-placement (no different than someone being paid to write a blog or comment).

For vloggers this means a few things that could ultimately result in account suspension for materials they are actually being paid to produce, or the all too real possibility of not having access to the means through which  disputes can be properly and effectively managed in timely fashion - it's in the claimants interests to drag their feet when claim is in dispute as it keeps the infringing content offline, this is why disputes can drag on for months all-the-whilst the vlogger is loosing views/subs/income etc. (it's important to know that within the realms of Copyright, having material disabled has more 'standing' than being compensated for tacitly allowing it - 'compensation' is not equivalent to 'licence'. Ed.).

@kat, do you think this content id mess, in general, will ever be cleared up?
