| Topic | Why is copyright the way it is... |
| MrMallard 12/14/20 12:35:42 PM #19: | In the case you're talking about, you can blame Viacom's lawsuit against YouTube for leading to the ContentID system. The DMCA is also responsible for the way this sort of thing works, though putting the burden of proof onto the website at large and letting them deal with potentially illegal content instead of instantly taking everyone to court has allowed for leeway in cases where shit is particularly stupid. Nine times out of ten, YouTube will act in favour of the copyright holder, but when you have people getting DMCA'd over trailer footage, soundalike music or a fraudulent copyright holder (like that guy who puts 5 minutes of classical music in a shitty techno song and marked the classical music as his content), platforms like YouTube tend to step up when it counts. If you want to know who's responsible for the shitty state of copyright law as a whole though, it's Disney. --- Make it through this year, if it kills you outright.
