As far as I can tell, the assertion that YouTube reviews flagged material is either deceptive or an outright lie. More accurately, I think they just delete videos that receive an improbably high number of flags and then only bother to restore them if there's enough backlash. I've also seen videos removed by corporations like Warner that had no content belonging to that company whatsoever, which leads me to believe that verified corporations are basically just given admin privileges and set loose to delete any offending material.

Youtube isn't effed up, DMCA is. Realize that a company like Google has a lot of assets, and likewise a whole lot to lose. Big companies need to be careful to follow DMCA complaints, because by that law, big media can sue their butt's off if they don't. This isn't to say Google couldn't review the complaints, but that would be a costly and still somewhat error prone endeavor. In reality, copyright law simply hasn't adjusted to the internet yet, or is trying to, but in the wrong ways.

Char, there are multiple videos of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" uploaded onto YouTube, one uploaded by Rick Astley and YouTube themselves. However, the video in question was the first to be uploaded, which was apparently flagged by Viacom. The copyright claim has apparently been disputed and put to rest; the original video is now viewable. Viacom tends to flag literally everything they see. As I mentioned, they had flagged a Team Fortress 2 YTP that contained no material belonging to them. Since YouTube has their own version of this video uploaded, it would be hypocritical for Viacom to flag the original. Thus, the copyright is bull and void.

There, Memes Annotated. That's the reason RickRoll-type videos have that many views, not because it's a good song (which, frankly, it kinda is) Last edited by LiteTheIronMan; February 27, 2010 at 05:14:47 PM. |
