Everyday is come on one of my favorite videos has been removed or the sound has been removed. They want us to upload our own user created videos..
 
haven't come across the sound thing... do you mean for copyrighted songs that usually play with a still image?

Or do you mean personal video montages that use copyrighted music?
 
I always thought it was some kind of experiment to see how many retarded phrases could be threaded together in "response" to pixelated video and crappy audio. (die FLV)
 
I saw this too, that is retarded. Don't they realize not everybody can make their own music? seriously. Not everyone is a music artist even though they can make videos. So far my videos have not been hit.

Copyright is the most retarded shit ever tbh. It's never gonna happen but would be awesome if it got abolished for music/video and other forms of art.

Actually how hard would it be to make a site like that?

Someone should get a server or two, or 10, or 100, in china, and make a youtube clone without worrying about copyright.

As long as credit to the author is given in every case. I get really pissed when someone puts up a compilation as their own. I've even had someone use one of them to advertise his own website. :|

Oh yes that I agree with, credit should be mandatory. I always give credit when I use a song in a video I make, or at least put what movie it comes from (most of the time I use movie sound tracks and not actual vocal songs).

That or if someone slightly modifies a song the credit for the original should at least be given.

YouTube Turns To Silence

January 15th 2009


In case you are wondering why a lot of YouTube?s videos are suddenly soundless, you shouldn?t blame it on the users who uploaded the video.

The explanation is quite simple. In its quest to stay out of legal troubles, Google-owned YouTube is testing a new method to avoid copyright violations.

The company has fingerprinted audio tracks and in case the video is using a copyrighted track the user is notified. He can choose to replace the music and post a new version or the video will be muted.

Until now, when a music label or other rights owner issued a copyright claim to block audio from YouTube, the video was automatically taken down.

Uploaders had two choices: dispute the claim or use a tool to replace the track with one from YouTube?s library of pre-cleared music. Last year, Warner Music Group forced YouTube to take down the videos which were infringing its copyrights.

YouTube is also involved in a legal dispute with Viacom, which has sued the company in February 2007 for one billion dollars.

People often say it's slow, but I've had no issues. if it's slow it's usually at my end (ex: torrents) so I have to pause a video and let it load.
