Changes in YouTube Policy (Content ID Arrmegeddon)

they can remove any videos they want, even without any reason at all, because it's their website.

That's not really how it works :/

yes it is? what makes you think otherwise?

[Tayasaurus]

fair use is a defense. if someone requires you to take something down that you uploaded, because of copyright infringement, you can use fair use as a defense and possibly be allowed to keep it up. however you can NOT use it as a defense if you were making money off of the video. and if youtube wants to remove a video of yours for any reason AT ALL, they can do it, they don't have to abide by any laws, because you uploaded a video on THEIR website
so

I'm not even talking about the website itself which proves to me you don't get the point at all.

Stop being a stubborn little bitch about it jebus.

OH
so who was "they" in this post?

Except they are violating the FAIR USE law. Why are you trying to defend them so much. They are stepping out of bounds in regards to this. The reason why they are getting so much backlash to begin with.

Do you even know what you're talking about? It looks a lot like you're arguing for the sake of arguing.

that doesn't very well answer the question, honestly
tell me what laws prevent youtube from removing what they want to remove on their free website

this.
forget google and their stuff, apart from the search engine.

[DrenDran]

if people would follow their rules in the first place

lol what
citation needed amirite


anyway, yes, youtube can do whatever the forget they want
it's time to find a new video hosting site
help start some competition

[Demian]

Vimeo would be a good contender if their buffering wouldn't be utter stuff. It takes several minutes to load the entire video even with a 100MB connection. If it loads at all that is. It's always faster for me to just download the video file rather than patiently wait for it to buffer.

citation needed amirite

no?
you don't need citation to understand that they wouldn't add more rules if everyone followed the rules already in place

[lordician]

They were too lazy to patch up the hole that some developers exploited (copyright claim top video if he said bad things about their game) so they made it copyright claim everything automatically.
10/10 work Youtube, you really listened to your so called partners and their problems with your system.

"Websites can abuse, harass, or threaten its users lives but that's okay and legal because it's their website."

Is like what you're saying.

Irl: "I shot this guy because he looked at me on my property, but that's okay and legal because it my property."

Stop
