    YouTube to tackle sham videos takedown issue

    In an attempt to fix the mistaken takedowns over the years from its automated Content ID system, YouTube, the video streaming system, which is owned by Google, has formed a new taskforce to address the policy and concerns from content creators and copyright owners.

    At present, the site has applications of content creators whose videos have been frozen due to policy violation, like copyright claims. Evidently, restoration of such videos takes time and spell doom for the high-profile YouTubers who largely depend upon the advertising revenue.

    A member of YouTube policy team said, “Recently, there’s been a lot of discussion about the enforcement of our policies, from video takedowns to channel demonetization. We want you to know that we monitor video takedowns very closely, and while we haven’t seen a big change in the overall rate of removals, it’s true that we do make mistakes. For this, we’re sorry and we strive to do better by you, our community.”

    YouTube has been paying heed to the user’s feedback and is reviewing its policies carefully. YouTube said, “It has led us to create a team dedicated to minimizing mistakes and improving the quality of our actions and it’s encouraged us to roll out some initiatives in the coming months that will help strengthen communications between creators and YouTube support. We’ll also make improvements to increase transparency into the status of monetization claims.”One of the major concerns expressed in YouTube’s comments section is that it is far too easy for someone to torpedo a video with a false copyright claim, and that those offenders should be held accountable.

    Expressing his disappointment over the whole episode, one of the users wrote, “Any jerk can claim people’s videos without a proof. The point is, the Content ID, copyright claims, and so much more in the system are heavily flawed. The false claimants are not getting punished for their actions. Instead, we are, which is not right. This needs to be fixed immediately.”

    Furthermore, users feel that YouTube should adjust its policies so the creator of the videos gets the due credit and also gets a chance to defend his/her videos before being taken down. They also suggested that it should be monitored by the initiator rather than an automated system. Also, they wished for returned advertisement revenue if a video is reinstated.
