YouTube is still fighting a Content ID claims. But amidst combating the allegations, it said on Thursday that it is rolling out a new system that will help creators earn revenue.
According to Mashable, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or DMCA, YouTube is not responsible for the copyright violations of its users. This will be valid as long as the company gets rid of the content when notified by the rights holders.
Also, in a separate issue, the company has its own content detection system called Content ID. The content detection systems aids rights holders to pinpoint content that is comprised partially or completely of their intellectual property and manage or monetize it.
The company also claimed that the removal process and the Content ID processes are being separated. However, this does not mean that the complaints over how YouTube handles copyright as a whole have become increasingly common.
"The point is, your content ID, copyright claims, and so much more in your system is heavily flawed," one user, named YTSpencer, wrote in YouTube's Help Forum. "The false claimants are not getting punished for their actions. Instead, we are, which isn't right...This needs to be fixed immediately. Stop relying on an automated system and demand proof of the object being claimed. You are letting this site die...You should listen to ALL of us."
Arts Republish reported that YouTube's new system will become available to their collaborators in the upcoming months. YouTube also said that it will continue to run the ads on the flagged creator video.
The company is also planning to hold the resulting revenue separately. Once the Content ID claim or dispute is already resolute, YouTube promises to "pay out that revenue to the appropriate party."
Meanwhile, creators of the company have already responded positively to the user's submit. Moreover, the new system will mean that the monetization process for the Content ID will also work for creators.
