Now on YouTube video service, videos that use music without permission of its copyright holders are played without sound. Thus, the administration is going to deal with copyright infringement. No wonder, because in 2007, YouTube has already received a claim for $ 1 billion from media holding Viacom. Just for copyright infringement.
The official YouTube blog says that this measure is more loyal to users. As previously, the “problem” videos were simply removed from the service. To avoid. Now the video will simply deprive the music without deleting it. And users can edit the video, removing unlicensed music from it and publishing a new version.
The question of whether this is a sound decision or not remains open. So, in the comments on the official blog, users express negative opinions, considering the new way to deal with musical piracy as absurd. ')
