it always has
no it hasent, its never had the ability to monitor all content with the ability to delete content in a way that could be used with neerly 100% accuracy by copyright companys before, its now VERY close to that
5 years ago videos of white noise were getting falsely content-ided and there was a shitstorm
thats the problem
the accuracy is *why* it's better
videos with white noise getting falsely content-ided is what protected them
yes
thats not happening anymore
and more accurate systems to detect copyrighted content is why
they feel more safe so they don't let as many videos slip through the cracks
that means if a copyright holder goes to youtube and says "get rid of this or we sue you" they have a better chance of doing it accurately
they have been doing that forever
accurately
ok
accuracy is good
no
it isint
are you a poe?
it means they are following the DMCA and relevant US copyright laws
which is good
youtube has less liability because of the DMCA
nigga that doesent mean they are going to respect fair use
they do though
people were waiting months for counter DMCAs to go through
now it takes weeks at most
and even when Google makes an incorrect verdict
you are liable
Ping's mostly correct here
The purpose of the DMCA is to protect a platform based on the procedures
As long as they follow the procedure outlined by the DMCA, they cannot get sued because of participants on their platform.
That prevents Youtube from getting sued, Server farms from getting sued, Etc. Etc.
Now, youtube's had to tweak their policies a little bit
But when someone gets a DMCA through youtube now
they're given a notice, and a realistic period to respond
If they respond, they either take down the video, or submit a counter-claim.
The point of this, is that the claimant is now legally engaged with the creator of the video.
instead of the company(ies) hosting it.
From there, it's up to the claimant to decide to bring it to court or not.

Clarification is necessary, was that a rebuttal?
