By the way, the the tracer AI likely violates YouTube’s TOS, last time i read through the policies for Manual Claiming, using a “generic” asset to claim videos, and automating the manual claiming tool doesn’t seem to be allowed.

[Crnobyl]

The problem is the use of AI. We seriously need to push back against the use of AI for copyright enforcement. Innocent people are gonna lose their channels because AI is very susceptible to false positives.

There was one person who got nuked off the internet due to mojang abusing copyright and DMCA. They were the one to found the majority of the unlisted content on the bedrock marketplace, along with obtaining dev versions/tools. Mojang got so agro, that they DMCA a video of just a powerpoint slideshow of words JUST talking about how Mojang is targeting them... (zero mc content at all but mojang still said it had their work....). This was no AI doing this either

[SpunkyInsaan]

Being a Minecraft tutorial creator this is terrifying, 3 strikes at once and everything is over...

[kisacapisaca]

In my opinion, if a company abuses the copyright strike system, they should lose their ability to give copyright strikes in the first place.

"Mojang, we love you, but please do better" *_your video was taken down for saying mojang and building our logo_*

[FPSZeno]

Jumping the gun this quick on such a new software is very reckless of mojang.

Could get them in a lot of trouble, false DMCA is no joke.

I myself have had a video taken down. It was back in 2021, a tutorial of how to install the Minecraft Plus screensaver they put out for april fools that year. Got a community guidelines strike from that. Took a solid 3 weeks of going back and fourth with youtube support, I finally managed to get it back.

I hate how stuff like this happens so much now, Just so incredibly frustrating.

[Lunaisded]

This proves that AI should NEVER be used commercially

[genghisdingus]

Copyright is in such a stupid state right now. Companies should not be able to control what users record about their product in any way. It is authoritarian to be able to dictate the acceptable opinions and discussions of a product.
The only reason we don't have fair copyright legislation in America is because Republicans in the senate would filibuster such legislation.

Tracer AI seems quite against the community and YouTube TOS

[AmberCommentsThings]

Copyright law is so utterly broken beyond measure

[peterbruck]

Nah it isn’t Mojang but Microsoft, PhoenixSC made a video exposing the videos that got taken down and they were all claimed by Microsoft rather than Mojang

[amongstreality]

Fools! They can't delete my Minecraft videos, because I never uploaded them in the first place!
I'm just built different

[ItsClawlike]

Mojang didn't delete my videos, they deleted my soul, I live and breath Minecraft.

[CaramelCraft]

Remember this is not Mojang but Microsoft making these decisions

[chaoticstudios]

Copyright law is so broken, the fact that mojang technically has the right to take down most of these examples is insane. Support organizations like the electronic frontier foundation that are trying to change copyright law!

[stilry]

You: Uploads this very, very informational video
Microsoft: I hate this video. Goodbye. *sends it off to the copyright dump*
