Viacom was sued by the EFF in February 2007 when it sent out 100,000 DMCAs. Some of those DMCAs targeted videos that had no Viacom material in them whatsoever, and other DMCAs took down videos that made Fair Use of clips from Viacom's videos. The Viacom dragnet was responsible for getting LiberalViewer's account unjustly suspended.</p> <p>http://www.themaskedanalyst.com/LiberalViewer.htm</p> <p>The Electronic Frontier Foundation responded bys suing Viacom. The upshot of the lawsuit was an agreement by Viacom to recognize Fair Use and to pledge to be more careful in sending out DMCAs in the future.</p> <p>http://www.themaskedanalyst.com/Viacom%20Dragnet.htm</p> <p>Alphacat was suspended due to a bogus DMCA from Televisa San Angel, a Mexican broadcasting company:</p> <p>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCp-Coghhrk</p> <p>He filed a DMCA counter notice and he should get his channel back soon.</p> <p>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cILNzPj84Wc</p> <p>According to Alphacat, Youtube insiders have told him that Televisa San Angel has been responsible for many DMCA notices. I am guessing the vast majority of those notices are legitimate, but they do seem to issue false ones from time to time. Seanbedlam had a video of his DMCAd. If you look at the comments section of his video you will see that he too was targeted by Televisa San Angel.</p> <p>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKSZ0DaoHJM</p> <p>So Televisa San Angel would be a logical candidate for a class action suit. But the class action suit misses the point—the main threat from the DMCA comes not from legitimate corporations trying to protect their copyright. The main threat comes from the DMCA itself and from Youtube's overzealous interpretation of it, as well as from trolls who are willing to use the DMCA to get the docs of their enemies. </p> <p>The following video, "YouTube's DMCA Loophole", by VoicesintheHead (previously known as supexcellency), may be the most important video on Youtube. WATCH IT! THEN READ THE COMMENTS POSTED ON IT!!!</p> <p>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAYLBro5QVM</p> <p>Read the letter from Rozeboosje that he posted in the sidebar to his video:</p> <p>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cvBxvpAJjw</p> <p>Now, in order for Youtube to enjoy the protection against copyright lawsuits granted by the DMCA, the DMCA demands that Youtube turn over any counter notice it receives to the person who filed a DMCA complaint. And the DMCA mandates that in order to file a counter notice, you must sign your name to it and provide your address and phone as well. So the DMCA mandates that Youtube turn your docs over to whoever files a DMCA against you—even if they are a whacko stalker who filed a false DMCA in order to get your information to kill you.</p> <p>This requirement by the DMCA is clearly unconstitutional.</p> <p>http://www.themaskedanalyst.com/The%20DMCA%20is%20Uncontstitutional.htm</p> <p>A class action lawsuit will not affect this problem. The law needs to be changed so that we can file counter notices while remaining anonymous. We need thousands of people on board in order to have a chance of bringing about that change. The only way that will happen is if BIG Youtubers like Smosh, Michael Buckley (Whatthebuck), Sxephil, Venetian Princess, Cory (Mr. Safety) Williams, and Lisa Nova get on board. I hope that Renetto will use his contacts to try to get them to join the cause.</p> <p>Once a critical mass has been achieved, then we can bombard John McCain's channel with videos asking for change and bombard Barack Obama's inbox with letters asking for change.</p> <p>It will take months, perhaps years, before the law is changed. In the meantime, after we get a critical mass we should bombard Youtube with letters asking them to change the way they implement their policy. They should redact (cross out) our identifying information when turning counter notices over to the person who has filed a complaint against us. They should turn over that information only after:</p> <p>1) A court subpoenas Youtube for the information. <br />2) Youtube forwards the subpoena to the person who filed the counter notice. This give us an opportunity to quash the subpoeona. <br />3) Youtube should turn over the identifying information only if the person filing the counter notice does not file a motion to quash a subpoena or if a Court refuses to grant the motion to quash.</p> <p>This procedure will protect Youtube users from having to turn their documents over to psychotic stalkers. It will enable us to preserve our anonymity unless a Court determines there is a reasonable chance that we will lose a copyright lawsuit.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/61260-renetto-greg-solomon-and-the-dmca-pt-1">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/61259-renetto-greg-solomon-and-the-dmca-pt-2 2008-11-22T10:44:53Z themaskedanalyst <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gDVzpcN47q4&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gDVzpcN47q4&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/61259-renetto-greg-solomon-and-the-dmca-pt-2"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/75874" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>The following video, "YouTube's DMCA Loophole", by VoicesintheHead (previously known as supexcellency), may be the most important video on Youtube.

However, by adopting this procedure they would keep in the SPIRIT of the DMCA as well as the SPIRIT of the law that recognizes our right to post anonymously. If anyone did sue Youtube over this then they WILL win this because the DMCA will be ruled unconstitutional. (For the record, I am not a lawyer, and anyone taking legal advice from me would be better off running a marathon in quicksand.)</p> <p>Why should Youtube take this risk? If they don't risk being sued for violating the letter of the DMCA then they risk a negligence lawsuit if someone is killed after Youtube turns over docs in response to a false DMCA filed by a stalker. Even if they win that lawsuit, the publicity would kill them and invite government scrutiny of they way they run their business.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/61259-renetto-greg-solomon-and-the-dmca-pt-2">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/61253-high-drama-and-a-two-bit-dmca-complaint-pt-1 2008-11-22T10:44:52Z themaskedanalyst <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qIoZ4J8eO24&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qIoZ4J8eO24&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/61253-high-drama-and-a-two-bit-dmca-complaint-pt-1"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/75868" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>This is a series of videos about a dispute between Greg Solomon and Myrealitybytes that erupted after Greg used clips of Myrealitybytes' video to paint renetto as a plagiarist.

The bargain is this: we as a society give limited property rights to creators, to reward them for producing culture; at the same time, we give other creators the chance to use that same copyrighted material without permission or payment, in some circumstances. Without the second half of the bargain, we could all lose important new cultural work just because one person is arbitrary or greedy. <br />Copyright law has several features that permit quotations from copyrighted works without permission or payment, under certain conditions. Fair use is the most important of these features. It has been an important part of copyright law for more than 150 years. Where it applies, fair use is a right, not a mere privilege. In fact, as the Supreme Court has pointed out, fair use keeps copyright from violating the First Amendment. As copyright protects more works for longer periods than ever before, it makes new creation harder. As a result, fair use is more important today than ever before."</p> <p>--------------------------------------- <br />To understand why this was an improper use of the DMCA you must understand the purpose of copyright law and what constitutes Fair Use.</p> <p>The Purpose of Copyright Law:</p> <p>http://www.themaskedanalyst.com/The%20Purpose%20of%20Copyright%20Law.htm</p> <p>On Fair Use:</p> <p>http://www.themaskedanalyst.com/Fair%20Use.htm</p> </div> <a href="/blog/61250-high-drama-and-a-two-bit-dmca-complaint-pt-4">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/61249-high-drama-and-a-two-bit-dmca-complaint-an-update 2008-11-22T10:44:52Z themaskedanalyst <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/scQMA-vF_dY&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/scQMA-vF_dY&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/61249-high-drama-and-a-two-bit-dmca-complaint-an-update"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/75864" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>This is an update to yesterday's video, "High Drama and a Two-Bit DMCA".

I have an old time director's account which lets me post videos over 16 minutes long. Last week I was unable to post videos over 10 - 11 minutes long. I heard several other people complain about this problem. I thought Youtube took away this privilege.</p> <p>So last night I made a 16 minute video. I had intended to split it into 10 minute and a 6 minute parts. But it was late last night and I was tired when I made this video, so I forgot to cut 10 minutes out of the second part. </p> <p>I uploaded both parts last night, and I didn't realize until this morning that the second part was 16 minutes long. I guess Youtube fixed the glitch that was keeping me (and other directors) from posting long videos.</p> <p>In any case, I will not be removing the first part of this video because I don't want to delete the comments. I'd rather keep the historical record intact.</p> <p>So don't watch this part.

Enjoy. </p> <p>MyRealityBytes (1 day ago) Show Hide <br />Marked as spam <br />Reply <br />The truth is I had only seen maybe 2 of Solomon's videos. I saw his song video and thought it was kind of funny. So, I had this "renetto's toy' video and I tried to post it a response to Solomon's video. I did not "egg" Solomon into doing anything. If You watch this video again and pause it where I show the email Solomon sent me. Read it carefully. I thought he meant what he said. He was going to "cite" (mention) me and my video. He never said he was going to use my video. </p> <p>MyRealityBytes (1 day ago) Show Hide <br />Marked as spam <br />Reply <br />He never asked for my permission. AND I thought he knew my video was a joke. (I mean, I even sent it to renetto himself.) EVERYONE knows that loop is royalty free. Apparently, Solomon didn't. He then portrays me as some idiot who actually is accusing reneto of "plagarizing" a child's toy! {Plagarism is a serious offense).
