"YouTube's Content ID automated copyright system sucks. There, I said it. Any
review of the different posts we've done specifically on the topic of Content
ID can only leave you with one impression: the system doesn't work. Not that it
never works, of course, but when you build a system that is designed
specifically to allow 3rd parties to take down speech content, that system had
damned well better not be wide the hell open for abuse or laughable errors.
Well, guess what? You've got your music labels getting works taken down that
were
specifically designed not to not be infringing, news organizations
managed to claim
their own live streams as copyright infringing, and music
labels being able to demonetize videos of a guy singing public domain Christmas
carols. It's all very stupid, very much the tip of the iceberg, and very much
an indication that Content ID, in its current state, is broken.
What's that, you say? You need more? Fine, a guy uploaded videos of his cat
purring and those got claimed by
two different labels as infringing on their
copyrights."
