#12Wonder if the attention put on YouTube here will inspire Google to fix the financial and political 'infringement' takedowns.
Eg, during the takedown process, have something like:
> [ ] I understand that satire and political commentary does not in itself consititute copyright infringement, and that I am not filing this notice on the basis of the video satirizing or making commentary on my copywritten content.
> [ ] I understand that incorrectly flagging satirical or commentary videos that mention my trademarks but do not infringe upon my trademark rights may delay response to future infringement filings.
Or something similar. IANAL. Complainants must tick the boxes to be able to submit.

#13By uploading a parody video of a Samsung Galaxy exploding, I don't understand how there is a law being broken? Can someone explain how this is a copyright issue?
I wonder if in the mod Samsung's name and Galaxy brand was used and if they would have a case therefore.

#14Is there a major mobile phone producer with lower morals than Samsung?
Apple comes to mind.
Your getting downvoted beacuse morals only apply to people in the same social caste as you.

#15methinks this will only lead to the barbra streisand effect.
I'd not heard of it until now. Streisand is in full effect.
I've also grabbed a copy of the mod in case they decide to abuse copyright to take that down too, pretty sure I can upload it to sites faster than they can DMCA them. The real lesson here is don't make exploding phones.

Yes unfortunately copyright trolls will complain about that because "It's not fair" and "dem pirates took our jobs"... They want to be able to use the DMCA to flag anything their employer doesn't like, whether it's actual copyright infringement, criticism under the fair use, or criticism without even using their content... Sad truth about the freedom on the Internet and the DMCA.

That doesn't change anything. The algorithms are broken and they will always be without general AI. Either you have a human inspecting it and seeing that Samsung are trying to be fascists about it, or you use an algorithm and stuff like that happens.

It is definitely happening. I checked Facebook yesterday and it was trending over 1M metric (views/shares?) at that time. Everyone is writing about it.

Has it changed the financial incentives? If not, why would it change the results?
