All indications, that the fight against those who use someone else's content on their youtube channel. But do stop this process succeed?
Katy Perry, Rod Stewart и Billy Joel это лишь трое из более чем ста музыкантов и правообладателей, who sent an official appeal to the Office of the US copyright asking to change the laws, relating to intellectual property rights. In their opinion, needs to tighten laws, associated with the illegal publication of music on websites, such as YouTube.
singers: the law does not work
Representatives of the music industry have long argued, that the current law is not working as it should and allows Internet services to work with impunity owners using illegal (belonging to artists and rights holders) content. One of the consequences of this struggle was the introduction of features of YouTube Content ID, which is responsible for the identification of illegal material. But according to the musicians this is not enough.
The main actors in the war for their rights(and money) are artists and companies in the seers Youtube and streaming music services – offenders. This is not surprising - this kind of services are becoming more popular, and only in the last year of their income increased by 29 percent. At the same time weakening sales of both physical and digital albums.
"Outdated laws make us powerless, and billions of dollars on advertising to get the, who illegally use the fruits of our work ", - said in a letter.
By themselves singers and rights holders also joined 18 music organizations. And although the very US Bureau of copyright can not change the laws, it may issue a recommendation to Congress Subcommittee, which in turn is able to correct the situation. But the problem may be hiding in the, that the applicants do not have on hand a report with specific data about the losses incurred.
Car stop
Artists do not doubt, what YouTube today is a working harbor pirates. In order to verify this, enough to conduct a brief review of the contents of different channels. The problem is that, that YouTube operates in accordance with the law, and evidence, it was not true - there is no. Wrestling (by reports of violations) also it does not make sense in the case of a huge and popular site.
The only question is, is there any chance to eliminate this problem, or at least minimize. This is the most likely machine, which will be difficult to stop, and the only solution can be reconciliation of the new zakona.A what you think about this? Answers to the question write in comments.
