"Hopefully, you will recall our discussion about one YouTuber,
Totally Not
Mark, suddenly getting flooded with 150 copyright claims on his YouTube
channel all at once from Toei Animation. Mark's channel is essentially a series
of videos that discuss, critique, and review anime. Toei Animation produces
anime, including the popular
Dragon Ball series. While notable YouTuber
PewDiePie weighed in with some heavy criticism over how YouTube protects its
community in general from copyright claims, the real problem here was one of
location. Matt is in Ireland, while Toei Animation is based out of Japan. Japan
has terrible copyright laws when it comes to anything resembling fair use,
whereas Ireland is governed by fair dealing laws. In other words, Matt's use
was just fine in Ireland, where he lives, but would not be permitted in Japan.
Since YouTube is a global site, takedowns have traditionally been global.
Well, Matt has updated the world to note that he was victorious in getting his
videos restored and cleared, with a YouTube rep working directly with him on
this."
