  1. Youtube still helps copyright abusers massively.

    No, not the ones who upload like 5s song fragments or even NO SONG AT ALL, but those who claim "DMCA TAKEDOWN!" for certain songs even if there is no music AT ALL in that video.
    Yes, no music at all. Let that sink in.

    As a video uploader you have no chance to counter the claim but as claiming party, you do not have to prove anything! Just say "copyright infringement" and boom - all the money that was made with that poor uploader's video goes to you instead.

    It is a scandal, seriously. And this bXllshXt is known for AGES. And no one cares. One more reason to go away from YT - but easier said then done, if you wanna make a living from your videos. Like Music Mongoose, an ex BBC music journalist, an excellent one btw.

    He explains it in detail:

  3. Warner Bros. going around copyright flagging videos on YouTube for Minecraft Music, because of course they are. specifically they're hitting videos that use C418's music, you know the ones that are actually free for anyone to use as royalty-free.

  6. What we need are non-practising entities that let victims pool together rights and go after those who file fraudulent copyright claims.

    It might not make financial sense for an individual to sue for any particular infraction, but pooling might result in economics of scale that make it worthwhile to pursue infringers.
