content: Remember that this may have been done by "drones" with absolutely no knowledge of the content. And by "drones" I mean both computer-automated detection and alert systems, AND humans who work in some attorney's office somewhere shuffling paperwork. Alas, this problem was discounted when they wrote the rules in favor of the big corporations.

content: indeed its youtube content id system is to blame here, but since has real world consequences i don't buy into these sweed's not being responsible for it. The DMCA legislation provides penalties for false DMCA claims too i also understand there stuff about this in the agreement using youtube content id system.they blatantly stole aussie50 video (lets not for get these media industries crying wolf of filesharing)used for their own gainuploaded with a youtube account that has content id enabled isn't that blatent enough ?youtube has never taken ignorance as an excuse regarding uploading of someelses content why should it be any different for a media outfitonly recently a uk youtuber got failed with false dmca requests but this time it was for debunking a AIDS Denialist selling his vitamin pills to' cure' AIDSits quite clear the only thing the DMCA is being abused on youtube

content: drm is the biggest load of shit ever.if you getaccusedof distributing copyrighted material 3x, they completely cut your internet connection (the rules here) but big money corps can make HUNDREDS and THOUSANDS of false claims with ZERO repercussions.i think the same 3 strikes ruls ought to apply, if, say, capitol records makes 3 claims that are proven to be false, they can NEVER make another infringement claim EVER again. whats good for the goose.......

content: They do seem to be out of control. There are reports that record companies lodge DMCA takedown requests against people performing public domain classical works from 200 years ago, just because the label happens to have a commercial recording of the same work by some famous artist. But then the legal profession has never been noted for Common Sense.But this has been going on long before YouTube burst upon the scene. Certain companies retain legal firms whose sole assignment appears to be to harass others into paying "nuisance fees". One very notorious example is "Monster Cables" who are a despicable company on several levels, not the least of which is harassment of anyone with "Monster" in their name and/or who make cables or connectors. It is especially gratifying to read the experience of one targeted victim of their legal goons:http://www.bluejeanscable.com/legal/mcp/

content: A long time ago I took a video clip and encoded it using Cyberlink MediaShow and uploaded it to MediaFire.The clip is short, maybe 20s video sequence that's publicly available and I think even open source ... see park joy somewhere on this page:https://media.xiph.org/video/derf/Anyway.. I encoded it and named it "park_joy_1080p Cyberlink MediaShow Ultra.M2TS" just so that people will know that it's encoded with Cyberlink MediaShow on "Ultra"quality preset.Today i got this email and the file is naturally down.. see attached picture.If you don't see the picture ... basically the morons googled for "cyberlink mediashow" or "cyberlink youcam" and dmca'd every link in mediafire they found through google or other search engines. The DMCA text speaks of "CD KEYS" and keygens and stuff like this, it has nothing to do with the video.Of course, I counter claimed the dmca even though the file is so old it was probably last accessed months ago but it's a question of principles.Either way, according to dmca the file HAS to stay down 7 or 10 days - i forgot the exact time - no matter if they drop the demand or not.

content: In his case, it's not takedown.That company "Splay networks" uploaded content in youtube's contentID database. Youtube makes "fingerprints" of that content and then automatically searches old uploads AND new uploads for those fingerprints and based on Splay networks' choice, youtube removes monetization and puts ads on the videos and splay networks gets the money.So basically tv station or someone stole aussie's content and played it in a show or in another video, they uploaded the video of the show to youtube and then told youtube they own the copyright for the whole clip and now youtube finds the smaller clip aussie made as infringing.

content: As obnoxious as parts of the DMCA at least it spells out the wrongful claims are a legal liability for the claimant.The automated Google POS has no checks or balances, Google has the right to arbitrarily remove videos so a wrongful entry in the fingerprint database causing deletion is not legally actionable. As long as you don't create wrongful entries which claim copyright on stuff from their other big paying customers Google cares very little either.

content: Same thing happened to the Blender movie Sintel recently:http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140406/07212626819/sony-youtube-take-down-sintel-blenders-open-source-creative-commons-crowdfunded-masterpiece.shtmlThis time it was supposedly Sony who has used this movie (legally - it is open source) in their demo reel for their 4k televisions and their drones had it blocked on Youtube.

content: To get around this bullshit, could a content producer, such as Aussie50 or Dave's EEVBLOG create their own "network", i.e. EEVnet, and be the first to claim ownership of such original content immediately after it's uploaded?@Dave, seriously now... you might actually want to investigate really creating an EEVnet subsidiary, since you have a large enough audience you can easily promote other video bloggers with Electrical Engineering content and revenue share with them, so you would have an actual, viable network, not a fake network like aussie50 says in his video. I am sure there are plenty of EE video bloggers online that get relatively few views (say in the low thousands) and would benefit from exposure on your "network", as would you too.(disclosure: I don't have a video blog )Cheers!
