    Thanks so much man, I really appreciate you covering this.
    I know some people are wondering why I'm still trying to be nice about it... The reason is that even when you've not done anything wrong, lawsuits can literally take years. Its not only a massive headache but also extremely expensive. The quotes I've got for copyright lawyers in the US are around $1000 an hour. Plus, I'm not even sure if I'd be able to continue creating content until the lawsuit was resolved. So basically if I have no other choice, then yes I will go the lawsuit route. But obviously I would strongly prefer not to. 😅
    Also I appreciate Ludwig being humble but creators raising awareness of this and trying to help me might be the thing that gets CZcams to intervene or Alex Edson to back down... which would literally save my entire business and the channel I've spent 5 years building. I know Lud has spoken about similar issues in the past too, so his content is definitely way more valuable than he's giving himself credit for.
    Since this all happened other creators have come forward to me with other allegations against Alex Edson from back when he ran PowerTV MCN. It's made me realise how lucky I am that people are speaking out in my case, as some of those creators in the past didn't have the community to support them, and some of them got badly ripped off by him. So seriously, thank you so much to everyone for the support. It means a lot.

      @@0106johnny They could implement something that kicks in before the court stuff is even considered. To use this video's issue as an example, that may not even go to court. They're in the 10 day period where BC has to decide if they want to sue, and if they don't, the strikes are dropped. You could implement a rule that says that if you file a copyright strike, and it reaches the point where the other party says, "no, you're wrong, sue me to prove it" and then you don't... then you get dinged by CZcams for it. In other words, if you're filing a copyright strike in the first place, you damn well better already know whether or not you're willing to go to court over it, instead of dragging it out, causing people's channels to be unable to upload for at least 10 days at a time, only to let it drop at the very last step with no real consequences for yourself.
      I mean CZcams does say they take down accounts all the time for fraudulent takedowns, but it's never publicized and I can't find any details on any criteria they use to make those judgements. Have a very impactful punishment for filing a claim you aren't willing to actually litigate would go a long ways towards curbing that behavior. The downside I think would be that it could discourage actually legitimate claims for folks who just don't have the money to go to court, since the copyright system is a pretty straightforward one. You file the strike, and the other party either complies, tries to get you to retract it, or directly files a counter notification. If they do the latter, boom, you're already in the sue me territory. I guess that's not too big of an issue though, especially if it's a strike system that wears off over time like the actual copyright strikes do. Presumably a normal person filing legitimate grievances they otherwise aren't willing to go to court over isn't going to be doing so with the kind of frequency that a copyright troll would.

    It is crazy how poorly youtube manages their copyright system. They should have a third party moderator who can watch the videos and objectively decide if they are invading the copyright. Having the people who abuse the copyright button be the ones to decide if they "made the mistake". It lends itself to getting more false accusations of copyright being thrown out there and not being done properly. With all their money that they make, it would be easy for them to pay a team to sit there and ONLY respond to copyright strikes. If the system was more fair, it probably wouldn't be misused because there would be repercussions to people's actions.

      It literally would not be legal to have youtube have a team hired to sit down and review copyright strikes because they aren't the copyright owner of the content so them deciding against one side would be grounds for being sued if they are wrong which they would be at least sometimes. It would be much more logical to rework how the strike system works on youtube but the people who have the copyright are usually bigger corporations which is not in youtube's benefit to make enemies of. Bad system and I hope youtube does a rework (and i believe they will) but I just hope it is a rework people are happy with because I have a hard time seeing that be true.

    Someone should establish a CZcamsr Union or a content creator union... that just lets youtubers pay a small fee (or a fee based on size and income) to receive help, support, and maybe most important legal aid in cases like these. Obviously youtubers who maliciously try to delete channels with copyright strikes would either get their membership suspended indefinitely or just not receive legal aid via the union. Could also help in negotiations with youtube itself regarding whatever. Considering how many people make a living by being content creators, and how easily that living can be removed, it's weird that there isn't something like this already. I guess the fact that most of these people could be considered as a sort freelance/ contracted artists, it would be hard to unionize, and maybe there's a "secret" line in the content creator contracts that doesn't allow for unionizing (but I assume that's illegal, so probably not). The biggest problem may be the fact that youtubers are global, and it would be hard to create one union that can help anyone in any country, but if you started by basing it in the US, or the UK since Europe is more unionfriendly, it should be possible to grow enough to help almost anyone anywhere. The financial side would require a major youtuber, or preferably several, to invest heavily in the beginning, but once the wheels started turning, it may quickly become self-sufficient based on memberfees

    I was part of powerTV with a group of friends when those contracts were happening with Alex. I remember a call where Alex started screaming at one of the largest creators in the network at the time when we had weekly calls to just talk about how our channels were doing etc and then the panic when that creator was leaving. Things started to get really weird and my group of best friends actually all left with me. We ended up getting in contact with a man by the name David at Curse Network, union for Gamers and when he was shown some of the contracts he made some comments about them and not long after contracts that were standing and in effect for us were voided and we quickly hitched with curse, I remained with them for a few years until ultimately getting a better deal with Screenwave Media which is by far the best network i've ever been part of.
    I remember many promises and few kept. There was always talk of a power TV Headquarters being made and we'd all be offered our own free creator spaces to record in a professional setting when it was done but we never did see any proof of where that or where the % of our revenue actually went.
    It wasn't all terrible, Alex was pretty motivational with us and did push us to be the best we could with CZcams, I know there were a few channels he actually invested in to get them better equipment and help them out but some of those came with a higher split contract, Then there was the outrageous ones though that lasted far too many years.

Even it they are 1-2 seconds in length it is still the work from another person. What is ludicrus is that the guys who made the effects are not the ones issuing the copyright but rather the guy who bought the rights to those videos... which is how copyright works and that despicable Edson guy is entitled to it.

    I feel like maybe the (easiest?) solution at this point is to have content takedown notices stay pretty similar but have content strikes be actively moderated and checked before approval. Preferably all the strikes, but especially the third ones, as they cause complete channel deletion. While not a perfect fix, it would still let most of the content IDing be automated and not overload human resources. This way, the channel takedown penalties with actual long-term consequences of the content ID system cannot being less abused by anyone to take down channels. Because if the purpose is purely for content, keep the immediate penalties (ad revenue, muting) and such where the money is just held as they are, but channel termination is verified due to how many people keep getting screwed by the system.
