--- Quote from: janoc on February 11, 2020, 10:25:49 am --- If you don't want to be subject to the arbitrary moderation rules and weird laws in foreign countries, host the content yourself. People cry wolf about censorship but the fact is that these platforms are not a charity, they are doing this for profit, first and foremost. And if there is going to be the slightest trouble, there are very very few channels YT would hesitate to throw under the bus and risk their existence/profit over it. People live in a delusion that having a million of subscribers means they are somehow important. --- End quote --- Considering how Youtube currently enjoys a quasi Monopoly on the "Viewers Market", (Alternatives such as Vimeo or Bitchute do not even get close to the views and outreach of Youtube)... IMHO a Company like Youtube (Google) cannot and should not benefit both from acting like a Public Forum - meaning no liability for what an Individuals uploads/expresses on their Platform AND a Private Publisher which can choose who it gives a platform/what to publish. As far as I am aware US courts granted them both Powers due to the Nature of Internet, however in hindsight it may have been a bad Idea. The cries of Censorship, how you call it, IMHO, are completely warranted considering the lack of other Platforms with even a closely similar outreach and I really do not believe a single Company (or other entity such as the State) should have that much Power over Public discourse. Especially as it holds that power not only in the US, but world wide. To me, the response: "Publish yourself!" is just a lazy excuse and non-solution to this very real Problem of the monopoly on public discourse/outreach that youtube definetly has. |

The big boys could always screw you by a simple injunction, and youtube was always going to fold while it was working its way through the court. Law is weighted against the little people and it's somewhere between impossibly hard and plain impossible to fix. If I was in this kind of situation and I was feeling ornery I'd much more readily challenge this than an injunction. The DMCA process is a whole lot clearer. |

A while back a representative from Warner Music Group demanded that I take down this video, threatening me with a copyright strike if I didn't, because "Natey G" had apparently signed a record deal with them and was embarrassed by his first music video and they wanted all traces of it removed from the Internet. I firmly defended my video as Fair Use and told them to get lost. The ironic thing is that they were threatening to put an illegitimate copyright strike on a video about illegitimate copyright claims! |
