Don't let this distract you from the fact that companies can still false strike you

Understanding Quantum Physics is more easier than understanding Fair Use

Honestly the "Fair Use" laws and massive corporate lawyers have killed my creative spirit literally it's hard to do anything without getting demonetized.

“Fair use protects you, but even if you do all these things, fair use probably doesn’t protect you”

"even if you use fair use content, you're not protected" thank you.

The name of this video should have been "We will not take any responsibility whatsoever."

There are so many creators, like Thunderfoot, that constantly use copyrighted material and long clips in their videos, and claim fair use, but never have to take them down. I also see many people performing full covers of copyrighted music without their videos being taken down. I don't understand how this happens when it's so easy for others to get copyright strikes.

I have no idea why YouTube hasn't incorporated a revenue sharing system for copyrighted material based off of an algorithm that pays a certain percentage of a monetized video to the copyright holder based on how much was used! That would be a win-win for everyone!!!!

Thanks for letting us know that there's nothing fair about fair use.

Users: Can you please explain fair use

Youtube: Go to court

Understanding algebra and calculus is much more easier than understanding fair use

"Youtube doesn't decide what's fair use - only a judge can do that."

Ok...so then why would youtube take down a video without an order from a judge?

[TryHardNinja]

This is very informative. One thing though, When people complain that their entire video got claimed for a two second copyright protected clip, they aren’t necessarily suggesting that two seconds is short enough to be considered fair use. They are saying that it’s not fair that the entirety of the ad revenue for the video now goes to someone that only owns two seconds of it. Your platform desperately requires revenue share.

If only YouTube didn’t use automated bots to always side with the copyright owners

[notmaroo]

Im not even going to watch the video after I read the comments. These kind of videos from YouTube are the true reason they disabled dislikes. It’s a shame how less they care about their creators. People put their love, life and soul into their channels just to get them false striked and possibly deleted.

this doesn't explain why copyright holders are the ones who hold all the power regarding disputes. youtube's default "we dont decide fair use" statement is a convenient cop-out that absolves them of any responsibility to address a rampant issue of copyright abuse from big companies like UMG that's plagued the site for years.

How not to explain anything in 5 minutes.

Me: Can I use others videos?
YouTube: *Yesn't*

[siddiq]

i wanna go back to the old days of YouTube :(

- I used a 10 seconds footage and i lost on court about fair use.
