YouTube has promised to change its copyright protection policy.

In response to criticism, YouTube has formed a team that will work to improve the copyright policy and eliminate the erroneous removal of content.

Users accused the video hosting of a “lazy” approach to monitoring content, as well as using an unreliable automated Content ID system. Allowing copyright owners to block any content that copies their own work is a good idea only at first glance. Owners can easily abuse this control through fictitious claims and even insist on immediate removal without trial, reports thestack.com.

If the content is used in good faith, then claims from the Content ID system cause reputational damage to the content owner, reduce his chances of receiving advertising revenue, and deny sponsorship.

In response to these allegations, including from the creators of such channels as “GradeAUnderA” (over a million subscribers) and “I Hate Everything” (more than half a million subscribers), YouTube announced that the new team will focus exclusively on “minimizing errors "Because of which, and not violating the law, video is deleted. According to a note posted by a member of the team on the YouTube help forum, the video hosting giant also promises to increase the transparency of monetization requirements and strengthen the link between video creators and ordinary users.

However, many are skeptical about new efforts to improve the current situation. One forum user commented: “We want results, not promises. Your promises are worth nothing [...] It is necessary to strictly punish those people who submit false (fraudulent) claims. At least to recover heavy fines from them that were unjustly charged by the content creators. ”

But without more detailed information about the tools that YouTube plans to implement, it is difficult to judge how significant the changes will be.
