If you own the rights to some music, it's on you to prove that it's not being used according to fair use
Mmmhmm
I'm a photographer
and one thing that I do with any photo I put on social media
I find places and ways
Same with movies, photos, etc.
to put watermarks on a photo in a way that won't be noticed unless you're SPECIFICALLY looking for it.
i think at some point they will win that arguement consitering that if youtube has the power to enforce the copyright even more than they currently do and youtube doesent then they can argue youtube is knowingly not using their full power to enforce their rights on their platform
but if someone were to use my photo without my permission
and think that they'll get away with it
they won't.
you have to understand the rights of individuals are secondary to the rights of business in the usa
First, the photo I post is cropped. Second, it has a watermark with my company's name
and google/youtube is a usa business
very VERY faintly, hidden in a shadow.
I agree, Corporatism is a problem.
thats why im saying youtube is in trouble because i think youtube will have to face giving the power of indiscriminent bots to the hands of copyright enforcers or have those enforcers try to get safe harbor pulled out from under them and the reason this is even a problem is because youtube is creating more and more accurate bot ai's to monitor youtube for their revinue stream
the best case scenario youtube has is the former and i dont think we have any idea just how much that will change things
most of my music playlists wil lbe gone im sure
I think I see your point.
i think so
Also, probably not as far as the music thing goes
they DO already have a copyright bot as far as music goes
at some point they will have perfect control of the curation of the platform, so other people will want that for their own interests and have legal means to fight for it
I actually had a correspondence with 'CD Baby', a sync license company, on this matter.
their music bot is terrible then
I was wanting to use a song by Shawn James for a project
because i know the stuff i listen to isint public archive
those bots will get better
I asked them about getting a license to use it. One of the things they told me was that I could just use their music
but the music would be tagged automatically
and the money from that video would go directly to them instead of to me
and the fight between transformitive media and lawyers who dont give a shit will never end
so the bots getting more accurate isint a good thing in my opinion
hell, right now I'm working on licenses with BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC for my radio station
The interesting thing is
not in the american context atleast
all of these holding companies operate a little differently.
It's a nightmare when it comes to reporting, believe me...
But yeah
