Argument

On 10 July 2022, a music channel on YouTube called Lofi Girl had two of its live music broadcasts suspended due to alleged copyright violations reported by FMC. The account's Twitter account has made a post regarding the report, saying that the copyright claim is false. A few hours later, YouTube's official Twitter account responded to the post and acknowledged its mistake. YouTube removed the claim of copyright infringement and returned the twenty thousand hour long video involved 48 hours later. [2] [3] [4]

However, FMC told news site Malaysiakini that the report of infringement made against Lofi Girl's YouTube channel was the act of hackers using FMC's YouTube channel. [5] The FMC representative claimed that it was only realized on 13 July because its employees were on vacation at the time. [4]

YouTube copyright issues relate to how the Google-owned site implements its protection methods.

YouTube uses automated measures such as copyright strikes, Content ID and Copyright Verification Program. These methods have been criticized for favoring corporations and their use of copyright claims to limit usage of uploaded content.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">YouTube copyright strike</span> Website policy action

YouTube copyright strike is a copyright policing practice used by YouTube for the purpose of managing copyright infringement and complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The DMCA is the basis for the design of the YouTube copyright strike system. For YouTube to retain DMCA safe harbor protection, it must respond to copyright infringement claims with a notice and take down process. YouTube's own practice is to issue a "YouTube copyright strike" on the user accused of copyright infringement. When a YouTube user gets hit with a copyright strike, they are required to watch a warning video about the rules of copyright and take trivia questions about the danger of copyright. A copyright strike will expire after 90 days. However, if a YouTube user accumulates three copyright strikes within those 90 days, YouTube terminates that user's YouTube channel, including any associated channels that the user have, removes all of their videos from that user's YouTube channel, and prohibits that user from creating another YouTube channel.
