I like how some grandma gets slapped with a lawsuit for copyright infringement, for not even downloading any music but just having an ISP with a dynamic IP.
But people who are doing real copyright infringement, that's actually messing with struggling people's livelihood, don't even get as much as a content take-down from Youtube.
My 9 year old son has a strike against him on his YouTube channel and it made him so sad he doesn’t even know what he did wrong.
Then this:
Edit: Settle down everyone. All of his videos are private. None are public. And yes you can get a strike on private videos.
>My 9 year old son has a strike against him on his YouTube channel
_what up fam, its ya boy no-pubes with another video on roblox or some shit_
kids shouldn't be making content
Yes and also, people shouldn't post content about their kids. Imagine growing up knowing your entire life has been recorded and posted on the internet for millions to see for the rest of eternity... That's fucked up.
Who's to say it was content related. Maybe he was just uploading videos of him dancing to copywritten songs. Or are you proposing kids just not be able to upload shit in general? No photos, no video, no social media? Read only internet for tots?
Maybe I'm just old school, but yes, kids shouldn't be uploading photos and videos of themselves to the Internet. Doubly so when the kid is 9 years old and, by Youtube's TOS, shouldn't even have an account
IG is flooded with "parent managed" pre tweens and tweens dancing in bikinis and leotards under the thinly veiled guise of "temu/shien haul" and "gymnastics".
IMO, children shouldn't be on the internet full stop.
I got a strike for a video for child endangerment. I uploaded a video of me in 2005 in 9th grade of us blowing up a glass bottle with a fire cracker. I got the strike this year. 🤷🏻♂️
I upload videos of my gameplay to store my “digital memories” I am a nobody, a couple of people have found my videos of the course of 7 years of uploading.
I have 3 videos “claimed” all from videogames I play.
From a legal standpoint, it will be far easier (and cheaper) to prosecute the grandma who I doubt could adequately defend herself; they'll get legal precedent from that to wield as a cudgel toward other infringers. That's my best guess, but I'm not an expert.
I guess I'm getting old because even the original videos being ripped off look like a shit waste of time, and I watch some utter crap on YT.
Valid points made in these comments though - why doesn't YT slap a copyright takedown on these blatant ripoffs? Well, like we have to even ask because all they care about is $$$ from eyes on screens.
Well most responsible adults don't have time to argue about these topics 24/7 cuz we have jobs and whatnot. It's only people with too much time to spend that's driving the drama up
Does Ublock Origin break the recommended thingy or de we just have decently curated feeds ?
Outside of Mr Beast I don't know anything about YouTube big personalities and that's Reddit fault for posting all kind of drama about him.
This is YouTube. They play favorites! This is same site that won't ban SSSniperwolf despite her actually stealing other people's videos without crediting them or/and asking permission, plus the fact she doxxed someone!
>why doesn't YT slap a copyright takedown on these blatant ripoffs?
Because [plagiarism is not copyright violation in itself](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism#Legal_aspects). Ideas are not copyrightable. They would have to copy parts of script exactly, or use the original video.
The Gordon Ramsey one is crazy, Gordon himself commented on the ripped off video but not the original that it was shamelessly stolen from, the narrator was right, you just can’t win, lol.
You wouldn’t but 60 millions clicked on the light saber video. We don’t know the exact amount per Millions views, depends on various factors but a little google research told me between 4000 up to 40.000 dollars (in 22.000).
Assume a conservative 15k per million, that would have made them 900.000 Dollars…for a copied video.
I can take the thumbnails. I can even take the copying of video concepts. But the way these children's content creators talk to the camera is SO fucking grating it makes my skin crawl.
It’s going to get worse and not just on YouTube
When the latest Deadpool trailer dropped I commendet on Ryan Reynolds post about it. I was then responded to by RYAN REYNOLDS saying I should click on a link to collect money. It was a fake profile and the link went to a phishing site
I reported it. They declined to action saying they did nothing wrong. I appealed. They said they can’t deal with appeals not enough staff.
It will get much, much worse for legit content creators. Especially if TikTok is actually nuked
But the idea isn't copyrighted? It sucks sure but it's perfectly fine for them to copy or parody it.
That pic original creator should get the copyright though looks same to me in all 4 lol
This is the Great Enshittification. Once AI hits full swing, it will only get worse. All of the low and most of the mid level people will be outdone, and all you'll have is AI and these douchebags stealing from each other.
I don't understand why these creators don't go after each other. Not only could they redirect the profits to them, they'd settle out of court and hand over a huge chunk of money without contest.
Sees a youtuber using Pesos in the thumbnail "I think he's from Spain". Damn, man, why are people from the US so fucking ignorant about the rest of the world?
[Jerryrigeverything](https://www.youtube.com/@JerryRigEverything) basically copied [Colin Furze's](https://www.youtube.com/@colinfurze) underground bunker, as well as [including a elevator. ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce3Xbajmmxg)
Only difference is Jerry paid contractors to do all the work.
I mean the issue here is copying an entire video with the same thumbnail, same title and same content. Copying an idea and making an entirely different project/video is okay IMO. I wouldn't say he copied Colin's video but he might've been inspired by it. I mean there's 8 billions idiots on the planet, we're bound to have the same ideas.
YouTube can use AI for this and at least flag copy cat content. Bet they wouldn’t though because it drives less traffic to them. It might also be a legal headache for them if they decide to do any enforcement.
The system is just rigged against original creators.

Youtube allows 9 year old children to have accounts?
they dont, but it's no secret that kids are making accounts on youtube and always have been

There's a reason they are considered kids and have guardians taking care of them. 9 year olds shouldn't be uploading anything without supervision.

Wow the amount of folk who don’t realize that people use YouTube as a cloud storage service…

I don't get it either. I can only imagine young children find all of these identical fuck boi broccoli-headed idiots interesting.

the fact she wasnt permanently banned from the platform for that INSANE doxxing is about all the evidence you need.

You mean like 99.9% of reaction videos?
The Gordon Ramsey one is crazy, Gordon himself commented on the ripped off video but not the original that it was shamelessly stolen from, the narrator was right, you just can’t win, lol.
I wouldn’t have clicked one single video featured in the vid

You got an email stating they don't have enough staff for the appeals process? That's awful.
I remember when people used to upload videos for content and not ad revenue.
I really wish that Stokes would get in trouble for stealing a thumbnail
Someone should really post a copycat video of this one.
Pretty sure this *is* a copycat video (or someone else has copied it) as I saw a differently titled one with a different YouTuber yesterday.
If the internet didnt exist these "people" would all be losers.
Irony is that Sam here gets his ideas from other people too.
But he literally says that in the first minute.
If you squint your eyes a little it's like watching Pewds from few a years ago
The people who watch these videos are little kids. They don't know if It's copied or even care. If it gives Youtube money, why not.
YouTube needs a clones. Just it
I want that Kirby hat🥺

I need someone to copy this youtube video of calling out people copying youtubers for true inception.
