Really youtube?
Jul. 6th, 2017 01:11 pmI got two copyright claims on some of my Overwatch streams. Now, Blizzard lets people monetize game play. They have a fairly clear page on that. The claiming company is something called SBS and has no claim on the content.
However, I didn't dispute the claim, I just deleted the videos because all a dispute does is sent it to the claiming company. Youtube says they don't review claims. You can also have your account closed if you have copyright disputes against it. As far as I can tell there's nothing to stop this company from just willy-nilly making claims and they get complete power to field disputes.
I can understand not reviewing EVERY dispute, but it just feels like youtube is abandoning content creators.
EDIT: I decided to file a dispute. I prefer streaming on youtube. Let's hope this doesn't bite me in the ass.
