If you are a person who often uploads personal creations to YouTube, you know that many people will download and re-upload other people's videos without modifying the permission, and earn advertising revenue as if they were their own creations. YouTube is very concerned about this shameless theft. I have been trying to find a solution. Recently, YouTube has launched a new copyright tool that can help you find these bad guys more quickly.
YouTube has launched a new copyright tool to help original creators find videos that have been uploaded again. YouTube, the world's largest video sharing platform, adds a lot of videos every day, but many of them involve theft of downloading other people's videos and then re-uploading them. Although YouTube has previously provided a variety of methods to assist creators in protecting their copyrights. tools, but still cannot effectively solve the pain of video creators, so this time they launched a new copyright tool to help creators find original videos uploaded from other accounts.
The principle is like this , after you upload a video, YouTube will scan the videos on the entire website to find very similar or identical videos. When the matching results match, the creator can decide on his or her own what actions to take, including contact theft and secondary uploading. or ask YouTube to remove the video. The key point is that you must be the first person to upload a video through this tool to be recognized by the system as the original author. If you have previously uploaded it on platforms such as Facebook and Vimeo, others If videos from other platforms are uploaded to YouTube before you do, you will not be considered the original creator, and this tool can only identify complete videos, and those that have been edited will not be included.
This tool will be available to creators with more than 100,000 subscribers starting next week, but as mentioned above, if the downloader re-edits and post-produces the original video, he can still successfully break through, and original content may also occur. When someone is accused of being a thief, we can only say that these methods can protect against gentlemen but not villains, and they cannot protect against second, third, fourth, and fifth misfortunes. At most, they can only reduce the risk a little bit.
