There is apparently a huge market for false creator accounts that re-post stolen content.
My question is How do sites like Reddit & TikTok escape criticism for duplicating YouTube content?
I think the platforms should hold a bit of accountability for this issue, as original content creators are often ignored, unpaid, and uncredited for most of the content that goes viral on platforms because of the repost culture they regularly don't account properly for?
It seems even big organizations like the RIAA, Disney, NBC/Comcast cannot enforce intellectual property.
They make a show of 'doing something', they muted the soundtrack of the video I made of my fishtank set to an old Pink Floyd song back when I was a hippie. But almost any song I think of can be found on Youtube be it Taylor Swift or Neal Young or Metallica. They pop up some dialog box asking you if you want to subscribe to their music service but why would you subscribe to any music service when Youtube has it all for free?
You can't find every movie or TV show on Youtube but I watched Alter Ego on Youtube after I ran out of free views from the Fox web site. Youtube must have more TV shows and movies in it than Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Apple TV, etc.
If "big content" can't constrain Google with their lawyers and paid off politicians, how can the independent content producer?
