obligatory copyright only exists so rich people can own more things they didnt create
There should be a copyright system that grants copyright only to those individuals who create the thing, not the corporations that published the thing.
I’m sure there’s someone who will point out why that is a bad idea, but collective ownership seems like it would be a better way to apply takedown notices more appropriately. A takedown order needs to be voted on by the owners of the thing being potentially infringed upon and if the majority does not think that something violates copyright, then the takedown notice will not be sent.
And then only to the human creator who intends to bring the item to market. No more patent trolls.
IANAL but I think some of the problem is people are under the employ of said company when they create said thing and they have contracts that are setup that by default make that the company’s IP over the individual.
Unfortunately, I can’t boycott Sony any more than I already do.
RIP. Sorry to be so negative, but the system is rigged in Sony’s favor.
While I don’t want the YouTube channel to be shut down, I couldn’t imagine that YouTube is the only place this exists and it’s the only place it can be hosted.
You’d be surprised to realize what a pain in the ass it is to host a good deal of videos. There’s more lost content (shows, movies and commercials) combined than archived data that exists today. Media was simply not kept and storage written over. Sadly, we’re going to keep losing it.
It depends on what you’re trying to do. If you want a social media site based around videos worth a variety of features with high traffic, then sure. If you’re just archiving stuff for the sake of it, then you can simply host static content.
There are also many other places to store stuff than YouTube.
