YouTube needs a wakeup call.

[*Kenji Murakami]

First it was the comments section getting futzed up, and then Youtube's new owners trying to force Google+ crap down our throats, and now this "copyright claim" that's not even coming from companies that are allegedly making those claims.

 

This crap has got to stop; there is no way that this is right.

 I love angry joe an alphaomegasin both great guys on youtube. Been following these issues for some time it's getting way out of hand. I was actually in the process of starting my own review show on youtube. I had everything finished just needed a few more things but I'm seriously reconsidering it now. I really wanted to do it, but if I'm gonna have these problems I don't know if it'd be worth it.

[*Kenji Murakami]

Yeah; hearing that from Angry Joe, who I personally subscribe to, was the last straw for me.

My mate runs a channel for nerdist and Machinima and has had several vids deleted. I think this is the beginning of the end for content creators who work on video game stuff.

Games companies aren't happy with people making advertising revenues off their work.

I suppose it's to be expected.Once a company gets hit with copyright nuts, they become paranoid with their content. I think I've only avoided most fo my flags because THQ is gone and older games. 

[LordSpleach]

OK

 

This is getting ridiculous!

I get it now.....  very clever google. well played. very clever guys.

I know what is going on and it's not as stupid as people think. google is not so stupid. they are in fact very intelligent.

google is playing devils advocate.

they are doing this to highlight a very important issue of copyright law as it currently stands and how various corporations are trying to screw us all up the backside.

with these people always pushing for things like SOPA and now the TPP, I believe that google has taken this current course of action to wake people up to the dangers we are facing.

[*Jess♥]

see....

copyright laws as they are currently, and how companies are pushing for them to be, it doesn't help google to do what they do. quite frankly it is all a big pain in the ass for google to keep having to deal with these issues and i think google are getting tired of being pushed to deal with these things constantly.

just think of the demands that are being constantly placed on them. demands for filtering etc. these demands, they are getting in the way of what google wants to do.

I'm not saying google is innocent completely. they mine data and they make massive profits from that... but from what i have seen of google's practices their ethics seem to be  sort of in the right ball park.

 So Ryuki, are you suggesting that Google in fact isn't doing this for their new system but rather being vigilante like and trying to show what the future has in stored for the webernet users and trying to more or less warn people of the coming problems?

[*V Guyver]

If that were the case, it would be a heavy handed affair. But I doubt it's the case. Google has gone from being a people helping tool, to a purely bussiness one.They've fallen into the familair pattern of what happened when a company has too much money, and open trading. In other words, it's all about money! This folks is the new younger hipper microsoft, not the friend we knew in highschool.
