YouTube Content ID Claims

[Henry Spencer]

Orange may want to see this (back your stuff up):

We recently enabled Content ID scanning on channels identified as affiliates of MCNs [the networks/Multi Channel Networks]. This has resulted in new copyright claims for some users, based on policies set by the relevant content owners. As ever, channel owners can easily dispute Content ID claims if they believe those claims are invalid.

Bottom line: "managed" channels are safe and are exempt from any content ID claims as well as the upcoming monetization review changes detailed in the above link. "Affiliate" channels will continue to get content ID claims and will also be affected by the incoming monetization review system.

So basically, there might be very little game music, game reviews, first impressions or Let's Plays/Walkthroughs of games or other entertainment in general in the future. YouTube has lately become a bit of a minefield for ID claims, so...

The time is now for a spiritual successor to rise.

YouTube lived long enough to see itself become the villain.

Geez Ryudo accused Peter of trying to kill him for just moving his videos to another sub forum, I'd hate to see how he reacts to Youtube actually taking one down.

It's just so ironic that it's even effecting those that the system was put in place for, in the first place. It's happening to everybody, like I say.

And the fact that YouTube videos can actually help sales for entertainment products (I've been sold on games, music or movies from a quick look, seeing what gameplay or scenes look like). All that YouTube is providing for with this system, is nobody.

Yeah, there's a lot of developers/publishers that won't be happy about this. They know that communities are the driving force behind modern day fanbases. I mean, shit, what about channels that are actually given early copies of games to review? Are IGN, Gamespot, etc. gonna be affected? Google's really fuckin up YouTube right now. Further to Riku's post, can you imagine how AG would react if Google took over the Dojo?

Makes me sad if this effects PS4's direct YouTube sharing integration Sony is working on.
To Vimeo!

Well that's all pretty shitty.
I haven't gotten any notices thus far. Only time I had anything flagged was when I put a test video up for Stand Alone Complex which used music from the show (and the music was what got it flagged).
I'd like to think that the fact that I personally capture and heavily edit everything I work with would count for something, and qualify my videos as original enough to be left alone. But that may be hoping for a bit much.
Guess we'll see.

Maybe this has something to do with it?

That topic was pure gold.

I remember that drama. Wasn't that the last straw for him losing his mod powers? Noticed today he lost the blue name.

Vimeo is quite good as an alternative.

I have 2-3 content id claims from a French rapper named Casus Belli. He's uses the "Memories of Distant Day" track from the Shenmue OST.

And this whole thing is about Intellectual Property Theft. The suits are not liking that full Let's Plays, Full Soundtracks, and all that crap are being showcased because it violates their copyright. But I also believe they think that by doing this, people are not going to pay for the product and they lose out on funds (like they prefer people to blindly buy their product instead of watching a good chunk of it for free and making their decision not to waste their money on it if they don't like it).

When I heard the likes of Nintendo and Music companies were seizing the advertising revenue from those type of videos, I didn't really care. It's their content and they don't really add any commentary except for the stupid Pewdie Pie-like "jokes". But what bothers me if that they really wanna target people who do retrospectives, parodies, and documentaries. Those have more work put into them and actually have a goal of informing and entertaining the public with original content (like OL's SPG series and AVGN). I think those should be left alone.

I have a couple of really popular videos on my own channel (one has over 2 million views) but I don't monetize them. I didn't make them, it's not my content. I just put it up for other people to see it. One of them is being monetized by another company, but that's cause it's a song from one of their albums and i'm totally fine with that. Again, it's not my content. What really pisses me off is people who blatantly put up content that isn't theirs and attempt to monetize off of it.

He had already lost them if I remember right?
