Some copyright claimers are scammers. Beware!

Extended content

We all know that Viacom and Shopro are the most common companies that make copyright claims on videos. But there may be something different. Even if your video wasn't copied or doesn't match another user's video, it can still be taken down by a copyright claim. Once you notice that your video is taken down, and if is wasn't by a legitimate copyright company, it must be a mistake or that there is someone else haunting you or spamming you. For example, this channel falsely made copyright claims on videos affiliated with this channel, and that's considered vandalism, plagiarism, and conspiracy. Once a channel has 3 or more copyright strikes, it cannot upload videos until resolving those copyright strikes by making counter notifications. It usually takes a few days for YouTube to forward the counter notifications to the one who took down the video, and the claimant has 2 weeks to provide proof of court action to assure the video stays down, otherwise the video taken down will be restored. Furthermore, the copyright claiming account can be terminated if abusing the feature of making claims and if not providing proof of court action on multiple counts to reject counter notifications. 50.29.199.144 (talk) 02:57, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's YouTube's flawed copyright system, where even if you file a copyright claim for something that you do not own, you can still get the video taken down. YouTube user John Scarce (youtube.com/GoScarce) has reported of other users making false copyright claims impersonating companies. There are also cases where gaming companies such as Ubisoft and Nintendo have been impersonated to take down other users' videos and get their channels terminated. I think since you (VideoGamePhenom) are partnered with Curse, you don't get terminated after the 3 strikes, but normally after 3 strikes, your channel gets taken down. On CG strikes (Community Guidelines), which details policies such as porn and nudity, and spamming and scamming, if you get 2 strikes, you get your privilege to upload videos revoked for as little as two weeks up to a month or so.

There is a bit of an WP:Edit war here on the talk page and some users are raising serious issues about YouTube. I restored the conversation so that people could see the conflict, but I also collapsed the discussion to hide it in a drop-down menu because these sorts of discussions are not allowed on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a forum for discussing the subject of Wikipedia articles. This talk page is for discussing how to make the Wikipedia article on this article's subject better by sharing information which has already been published in reliable sources. If anyone wants to discuss the subject of this Wikipedia article, then please do so elsewhere. Both of the comments in the box above are about the subject of the Wikipedia article, and not about the Wikipedia article itself. Sorry for the confusion. Please feel free to raise issues about the Wikipedia article here. Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:56, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I feel we need to do some work regarding NPOV on here: whilst the content is valid, the headings could possibly do with some adjusting - possibly replace "reasons for strikes" with "criticisms of reasons for strikes" or something similar? Philculmer (talk) 20:28, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

About the Happy Tree Friends episode on Youtube.

On Youtube, They have a special warning video with characters of Happy Tree Friends about the law of Copyright. The video is called Youtube's Copyright Lawsuit School. Many users are forced to watch that video and take trivia questions about copyright after getting hit with a copyright strike. I remember I got hit with a copyright strike from Family Communications Inc. after posting an clip of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood about how people make Player Piano scrolls. I was forced to watch this video and take trivia questions about copyright. Here is the source: [1]. ~BuddyBoy600 (talk) 15:17, 29, November 2019 (UTC)

YouTube channel termination

I think it should be mentioned in the article that a YouTube channel is terminated if it gets three copyright strikes in less than 90 days. That's the time it takes for a copyright strike to expire. If a channel gets a second copyright strike more than 90 days after having received the first, that's strike 1 (not 2) out of 3.Alvabass (talk) 05:48, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Considering a rename to "YouTube copyright claims"

These articles describe something called a "copyright claim".

Ashcraft, Brian (8 December 2021). "YouTuber Hit With 150 Copyright Claims For Reviews Featuring Anime Footage". Kotaku.
Michel, Patrick St (19 December 2021). "YouTuber gets hit with copyright claims, but is it Toei who's out of line?". The Japan Times.

It is not clear to me whether this is a "YouTube copyright strike", or if a strike is one thing and a copyright claim is something different. I think this article should be named after a general term rather than a YouTube-specific term, so that we can better capture media around the concept even if that media does not always use the same term. Thoughts from others? I would especially like to know if anyone understands a difference between a copyright strike and any other type of YouTube copyright claim.
