People can use whatever words they please. Never mistake yourself to be the arbiter of language, which is ever evolving.

We all got a$$holes and opinions and most of them stink.

You give me your stinky opinion saying mine stinks.

Well, you're wrong of course.

A claim to "evolution" meaning "change" is simply an excuse for anything. Evolution is about selection and I'm the big bad wolf eating your baby children: you go extinct. That's evolution, not some cheesy anything goes resignation.

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

Fair enough. I was referring to the Content ID system. >In general, the racketeers will ask for a fee whether they have rights to the IP or not. I make my living from YouTube and I have never heard of this. Can you point me to evidence of what you are referring to?

There are quite a few cases, but probably using a different search engine will help with citations:

https://videogamelaw.allard.ubc.ca/2019/10/18/settlement-bet...

Content ID is just as bad... if not worse... given no one checks for fair-use cases. A lot of old public-domain stock-footage was re-uploaded under dubious conditions, and will get your content auto flagged.

Best of luck =3

"you're not the boss of me" does not mean "i am the boss"!

If I am not the boss of you, and you aren't the boss, then someone else is the boss of you.

Did I miss something?

The only thing worse than being a pedantic asshole is being a wrong pedantic asshole.

There are two kinds of people in the world, and you're one of them.

"Other people can do what they want" is not an opinion, it's a fact of life. You can deal with it, or you can get so upset that you try to physically stop them. Is that something you want to do over the use of language?

Evolution is not about "selection", you're referring to a biological concept known as natural selection. I'm sorry to tell you, the evolution of a system simply means the development of the system over time. Feel free to check a dictionary. You should look up "homonym" while you're at it.

For someone so bent on controlling the English language, you should put more time into understanding it.

> A youtube copyright notice / copyright strike is not the same as a DMCA takedown. Yes it is. YouTube doesn’t magically get to ignore the DMCA, so their process is built around that (along with layering Content ID on top to allow for a middle ground where videos can stay up but redirect some or all monetization to the copyright holder). If you click through the link I posted above, you’ll get to this page which show…

Does YouTube's system also make a malicious complainer liable for damages? The DMCA does. Here's the relevant section of the law mentioned by krisoft: (f) Misrepresentations.—Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents under this section— (1) that material or activity is infringing, or (2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, shall be liable for any damages, includi…

The "knowingly" makes it useless.

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 jus…

At the very least they could trigger a real qualified human review of it immediately.
