its crazy that those funds arent held in escrow until the video publisher gets to respond/the dispute is resolved

The funds are held in escrow. GP is wrong.

When the copyright strike is issued a video is taken offline from the publishers channel.

In general, the racketeers will ask for a fee whether they have rights to the IP or not. They play the numbers counting on people not calling their bluff, and googles limited 3 strikes policy on channel publishers.

It is a problem only slightly less nasty than channel hijacking. =3

One of the reasons that copyright processes are so biased towards traditional rightsholders and against individual creators is that the latter group is simultaneously captive to the platform and unorganized/decentralized; YouTube needs licenses and goodwill from, say, Universal, far more than it needs 3blue1brown individually. And the incentives for rectifying this are skewed: video platforms simply need to address i…

The clear-headed perspective would be to assume that a YouTube channel could disappear at any minute and there is little recourse unless an attorney is hired. It's their ball and their game. What rule that does not exist today could exist tomorrow.

There aren't that many channels with over 5M subscribers. 3Blue1Brown is 706th in the world. It's insane to me that YouTube still doesn't have a manual sanity check for claims against their top ~1000 channels or so. That couldn't possibly cost much, and it would fix a PR problem that hits so often you can use it as a calendar.

The reason they don't is because they've made their own version of the DMCA takedown system but my understanding is that that system/law gives the strongest liability safe harbor if the platform just takes things down in response to takedown requests without taking any steps to validate them. The weaselly lawyer approved version is to just let the claimant and the poster duke it out with counter responses etc and just be passive.

What job is going to send you home if you finish a days work in an hour instead of going you more stuff to do? it's as simple as that.

Sure. But what they are really doing is giving you a pay cut each year without you realising, and the bankers and their friends closest to the money printers are pocketing it. Compounding even 3% annual cut in real value adds up to an 80% pay cut over 50 years.

Inflation makes the problem worse, but even if inflation were zero percent, no company is going to tell its employees they can work 1 hour per week because the company is paying for the employees time.

On top of that, the fundamental competition inherent to a free market says that a company with employees that only worked 1 hour per week would be out competed by a company full of employees that worked more than that. (Up to a point, obviously.), so the company can't let it's employees take advantage of increased productivity with a shorter work weeks in order to stay competitive.

Getting rid of fractional reserve banking and inflation isn't going to change those underlying facts of capitalism.

I wouldn't have issue if this were simply running the DMCA process. But the YouTube process goes well beyond that. DMCA also allows for the content creator to issue a counter-notice and, as I understand it, that starts a clock and the party filling the takedown has 14 days to file a suit or the original takedown is reversed. Naturally, that's not the process YouTube follows including, again as I understand it, the as…

That is incorrect. You can appeal a Content ID claim. Doing so forces the claimant to either retract their claim or file a DMCA takedown.

Not always...

"Videos removed or blocked due to YouTube's contractual obligations

(...)

Sometimes, this may mean the Content ID appeals and counter notification processes won't be available."

This seems like a huge abuse of the copyright system to me. It sounds to me like ChainPatrol doesn't actually have any IP to protect, but they are instead deputizing YouTube's copyright system to fight what they deem to be crypto scams. Absolutely wild if true.

Unless they're compensating the entirety of the Youtuber's lost revenue, this is worth as much as a granny tech support scammer claiming they were really planning to help out granny fix her computer.

Pure evil.

Its not about working less, it's about not having your wages stolen. If people understood they were getting a pay cut each year, they likely wouldn't stand for it. Instead they celebrate it as a pay rise but wonder why they can't afford nice things like a traditional family with an average-sized house and 2 kids, holidays etc, all paid for only by the husband who has an average job while the wife stays at home.

It's deeply haunting to think about how badly AI is going to mess up the world over the next few years. Today, it's YouTube videos. Later, it will be a rejection of the insurance claim for a kid's life-saving surgery. If you're in a position of influence in an organization that's losing its marbles over AI, please, at the very least encourage others to pump the brakes and think . If there was ever a time to speak up…

If only this had to do with AI. This has been going on for many years, long before LLMs. These are simple scammers. Many a good article has been written about the way these scams work. With or without AI, their claims are entirely bogus, they have never needed AI to pretend to have a claim, and nothing has changed in that regard.

Sugggest search query: Youtube copyright fake claim revenue scam.
