  7. 📹 YouTube: Same Licence, Extra Pain

    Who Controls Your Video?

    Same as the others: You own the Copyright, but YouTube owns the Licence to use and change your video forever, with no pay. (Meta, Tiktok, LinkedIn)!

    When you upload, you give a licence to YouTube and to Other Users (to embed/share your video).

    🚨 The Worst Pain: Content ID
    If you use a small part of someone's music or video clip, a third party (like a music label) can:

    Block your video worldwide.
    Seize your video's ad money.

    FOR REAL: YouTube's licence is a wide door for the platform and others.

    A third party can take control and profit from your work. It's a minefield.

    🤔 Does the thought of a music label taking your revenue feel worse than AI training?

  8. @eyeinthesky yep, you got it tho my focus is 100% on the User's IP Ownership Role.

    You rightly flag the technical limitations of ActivityPub, but those limitations do not equate to a transfer of intellectual property (IP).

    The User owns the IP: Every post, every original thought, every photo remains the user’s copyright. The user grants the instance owner a licence (permission) to host and display the content. They don't give away the deed.

    The Server has the custody: The server is the custodian—it holds the data. If the server goes down or bans you, the content is technically inaccessible to others, but the user still holds the original ownership rights to that IP.

    The problem is the tool's failure to respect IP, not the user's lack of ownership.

    FOR SURE: We need portability that treats our IP like the valuable asset it is.
