There was a public google doc a while back that included a long list of suggestions for ways for google to modify the DMCA thing so that they could both avoid getting sued by the RIAA/MPAA/**AA, *and* hinder the false DMCAs. I can't remember where it went to, or what it was called, and I sadly don't have time to try to find it, right now.damaxman said:I must concur, it is not the fault of YouTube (or Google as it were.) They are just legally covering their asses, as we would all do in this same situation. Yes it would be nice if they took into account the massive amount of false DMCA notices, but we can't expect to push them beyond their legal responsibilities. Besides, us atheists have an unwritten pact on YT, where when one video falls, we unite to counter-act the effect by method of multiple mirrors. Take it any way you choose, but I LOVE you guys. =)

Don't think so. They'd be afraid of bias. Imagine what would happen if NephilimFree volunteered as a moderator.Ce4or said:Would google accept volunteer moderators for the various genre's on youtube to view DMCA'd videos and pass it on if they think it appropriate ?
Case said:Youtube just needs to change the DMCA policy according to the principle "Innocent until proven guilty". Some jackass makes the claim, same jackass needs to provide proof.
Is that too much of a hassle to YT? Do they think it was?

But I wish they would hire employees to do so. And if you file a counter-claim, you agree to pay 5$ or whatever to have the video looked at (and maybe if there is no copyright-violating content, the party making the DMCA has to pay).
