YouTube Promises Changes To Copyright Claim Policy (thestack.com)
An anonymous reader writes: YouTube has set up a new team dedicated to weeding out false copyright claims and subsequent erroneous takedowns, responding to community criticism. Complaints have accused the video streaming site of a lazy approach to monitoring content, and using an unreliable automated system, Content ID, to enforce copyright policy. In response to these allegations, YouTube has announced that it will be introducing a workforce focused entirely on minimizing mistakes that delete legitimate videos. The tech giant has also promised to improve transparency into the status of monetization claims, and help strengthen communications between video creators and its support teams.
Nowhere do I see "consequences for false flags" or "actually giving people their stolen monetization money back." What a bunch of corporate fluff bullshit.
you guys forgot to mention that all this is because of a youtuber called GradeAUnderA who started this whole #MakeYoutubeGreatAgain in one of his videos, urging people to tweet it to the CEO of youtube. She then responded to the tweets and someone at google even got hold of GradeAUnderA to talk to him. Gotta give credit where its due guys.
