Requesting that youtube/host recognizes content and act automatically instead of copyright holders reporting infringing content is wrong as a premise, but somehow slid in various "recent" laws in USA and became a fact worldwide. It's like some sort of supermutant being required to know what everyone is going to say upfront and then holding their mouths shut if words are in disagreement with a certain imperfect law. Hey, maybe that's what is ahead of us yet.

who's "supermutant being", NB?

YouTube/Google? cause they totally look like supermutants :D

and

imperfect law

and here comes the "very human" part, imo, dumb enough to inject dumb-genes in those supermutant DNAs :D

copyright holders reporting infringing

Pretty much no IP holder has the capacity to monitor all content put daily on YT and other services. Without forcing publishing services to do that where possible, IP law is effectively dead when it comes to digital content. Imo, there is nothing worse then non-enforceable laws.

Taking content down shouldn't be done automatically though and there should be provisions protecting content creators from abuse of takedowns.

the whole content id system is one huge steaming pile of shit.

basically everybody can claim everything. if the claim is successful they get all the add revenue into their pocket no questions asked and if the claim turns out to be false there are no repercussions for the false claims. it's one huge cash grab.

recently jingles put up a video about his 'adventures'. for example he used music provided by a game developer in one of his videos. that video was later claimed (or attempted) by some chinese tv company. so not only did he have the rights to use that music but also the chinese company didn't even have the rights to claim that music as their own since it wasn't even theirs.
or the same piece of music in one video was claimed by 12 different parties. obviously at least 11 of them were false claims.

you can object a claim and usually the cash grabbers don't renew their claim and you get your video back. but if they do you're in danger of receiving a copyright strike and that is really bad news for any youtuber.

also i think nintendo claimed sound effects in one of angry joe's videos and took the video down since they didn't like his review of the game.
