Youtube sucks now

Recommended Posts

Google has built up a positive universal image online and they dont care if you like youtube or not. They are betting that you will never stray away from their business coz' Google and Youtube both brands are the icons of the era.

It's not like you're going to stop using Google and turn to Cuil

This video contains an audio track that has not been authorized by all copyright holders. The audio has been disabled. More about copyright


This is really driving me crazy now.

edit: I didn't care about this too much before, but when you have Octavarium (Dream Theater Song) having Parts 1 and 3 unmuted and part 2 is, that's just wrong.

While the audio muting is unwarranted, I think the copyright holders are being a bunch of babies because THEIR SONG is on some generic AMV. What is the problem here? It's not like the video uploader is making a PROFIT off them! I have two mod related AMVs promoting my mapmod for the LoTD game using lesser known (non-RIAA) and reduced quality songs on there so I should be safe from zealous copyright infringers.

And on private videos, what's the point of uploading them to PUBLIC webspace? Does that not contridict Youtube's mission statement?

Old Man, there's no need to feel down
I said Old Man, pick your feet off the ground
I said Old Man, there's a new law in town
Lawsuits can make you feel happy

Old Man, here's what you must do
I said Old Man, do what your lawyer says to
You can sue them, and I'm sure that you'll find
They won't violate your copyright!

It's fun to sue with the D-M-C-A!
It's fun to sue with the D-M-C-A!

It has everything you need to sue
You can even screw YouTube!

It's fun to sue with the D-M-C-A!
It's fun to sue with the D-M-C-A!

You can enforce your rights
It's all within your sights!

It's pretty random with lesser known stuff IMO, depends who the holders are and how uptight they are about stuff they can't really profit from if it was taken down. (because if it's not about money, it's all about control - which I think is the aim of all this copyright nonsense)

I really think a solid Fair-Use law should be signed into law by Obama this year. We could call it the YouTube bill, to keep fuckers like Prince from suing a single mom due to some faint radio in the background playing "crazy".

'Scuse me?

you never heard about that? The same thing happened in 2006 when the creator of the electric slide sued a youtube user for posting videos of said user dancing. It's nuts.

I've noticed that youtube has gone downhill. I mean so many videos I watch now (and ESPECIALLY the Grand theft auto vids) are mute because of the stupid audio copy right thing! Youtube is far deeper than hell, man....

Actually, yeah, I have to admit, the whole audio muting thing seems to be becoming frequent, obtrusive and excessive. Often it seems that it is being done for the slightest of reasons.

Their moderation system fails again. I would recommend e-mailing them about it (as it does seem to be given to you out of error, or some trolling user).

What is his argument going to be? "You took down a video containing music that I don't own the rights to."?

Wasn't it disabled because it contained the word "cunt"? Isn't that something of the policy? I dunno :P

Stupid politically correct(?) nonsense from Youtube. I mean COME ON, that is the band's name FFS.

I don't think it's about the music. It doesn't mention copyright or anything, just "community guidelines".

The guidelines do mention copyrights (see the 5th point), so it could be that. Unless the video contains nudity, pornography, or non-fictional violence it shouldn't be infringing the rules otherwise.

Oh look at that, I actually checked my video list, and for the Anal Cunt video it says "Rejected (content inappropriate)". So no, it's not about copyright.

Don't they have a method by which you can complain about potentially retarded moderating?

I haven't seen the video, but maybe they'd just need to set it as restricted content, so kids won't see it.

They could do that, but most of the time the videos just get deleted. It should be done like Veoh where you you can restrict the content yourself by choosing how old the viewer has to be to watch a video.

Youtube actually has gotten downhill eversince Google bought it but the whole mute situation happening recently shows that the results after Google buying it out are getting worse. I hope you people are beginning to realize that this is one of the examples how oppressive/suppressive/repressive "free market" capitalism really is....

I would argue that this is the exact opposite of Capitalism and Free Market...

I guess you really don't understand about Capitalism and "Free Market" really works do you? Capitalism is basically a classed based Oligarchical Plutocracy system where the wealthy control the means of production and everyone below (working classes, etc) them are designed to be their slaves. Whilist socialism/communism/anarchism is a classless system where people like you and me control the means of production.

Socialism in Russia didn't create a classless society, neither has Communism in China - they've both wound up mirroring their imperialist predecessors with maybe a few quasi-democratic concessions being made to the peasants. Once a social system is in place it doesn't take long for a heriarchy to be established which can form the basis of a class system. At least Anarchism is inherently classless and if you subscribe to the Egoism school of thought is little different to the law of the jungle.

Google's a big fish in a small pond and as tends to be the case with companies/cartels that dominate their market you either do thing their way or not at all. Our old friend the DMCA is most likely being used to justify the muted audio and content removal, with Google having to play the role of "good corporate citizen" and abide by a law that was enacted to protect the intellectual property (and by extension - the profitability) of other corporations that have been reluctant to embrace the digital revolution.

Wow, you'll just find any excuse to insert your dead-horse arguments, won't you?
