Youtube paying creators legal fees for frivolous copyright claims!!! Leader 11/19/15 (Thu) 20:45:41 f279e4 No.299851

"Since its inception, YouTube has been embroiled in long and bitter battles over copyright infringement. And over the years, the video site has increased its policing of pirated material. But too often, the company says, the demands of copyright holders to take down videos go too far.

Now, YouTube is taking the unusual step of financially supporting YouTube creators so they can fight back.

YouTube said on Thursday that it would pick up the legal costs of a handful of video creators that the company thinks are the targets of unfair takedown demands. It said the creators it chose legally use third-party content under “fair use” provisions carved out for commentary, criticism, news and parody."

So, when can we get some of the ProGG crowd and video game reviewers attacked by developers protected?

A good question and worthy of discussion. I don't know any youtube personalities I would recommend, who are also targetted with DMCAs. I do like Harmful Opinions and Based Mom, that's about it.

New OP?

I offer "Operation Creator Overboard" to start finding and identifying creators out there unfairly targeted by frivolous copyright claims and bot reports. I can think of Thunderfoot as one person.

Hell yes it's within scope. SJWs have used false DMCAs to attack Pro-GG videos. Before the new policies, it was allowed. Now there is protections.

Seconded.

Going to be a lot of salt by false DMCA people.

huh, that's a surprise.

Leader 11/21/15 (Sat) 09:31:30 cf6664 No.300253

You can't. This is only going to be used to protect rich people and SJWs, much like most of our laws.

Not seeing the point of these remarks. Suspecting a slider here.

Thing is about this is we need to get the names of creators that have been silenced by SJW interests, and put Youtube on the spot for their policy and tell them to put up or shut up.

Leader 11/22/15 (Sun) 23:51:24 24ddde No.300534

No one mentioning the unfair takedown of Mundanematt's video on the burgers&fries which activated the streisand effect?

Stop. Even if he is a faggot that is relevant. His video was unfairly taken down because of abuse of the system

Leader 11/23/15 (Mon) 12:29:58 e12bf7 No.300609

One of the 6 creators being protected is Jim Sterling.

Off the top of my head; I know both Thunderf00t and Sargon had videos taken down for frivolous DMCAs by butthurt creationists, Atheism+ cultists (oh, irony), crazy scientologists, and rabid feminists even before GG. Hell, pretty much all Pro-GG 'tubers had to deal with this shit at sometime-or-another.
