Uploading content such as video and audio with copyrights by another person who is not yourself to YouTube is difficult for copyright ownersRight to transmitIt is highly likely that you will infringe and that behavior is forbidden in YouTube's terms of service. However, on YouTube anime program "King of the Hill"Or"South Park"ofLive streamingAndThe SimpsonsI can see the episode ofLive streamingThere are NFL's known rights relationships that are known for strict responseWatch the game live streamingcan do.

The surprising thing about these contents is that there is something that is sometimes displayed in the "Recommended" section of YouTube despite the extremely high suspected copyright infringement, Brett Williams of Mashable wrote . Mr. Jason Abbruzzese of Mashable also includes several animated videos written as "Live Now" (live broadcasting) in "Recommended" displayed on his YouTube screen one day I noticed that there was.


When Mr. Williams informed about that in detail, many of the accounts which are performing live streaming of these people have few followers, and most people who profit from distribution are hardly found. In order to receive revenue from video distribution on YouTube, you need to go through the review of the YouTube Partner Program, but if the channel has more than 10,000 video views and the content of the channel is a YouTube partner program Policies, YouTube's terms of service, and community guidelines, and the hurdles to pass the review are high.

However, most of the channels that are performing live streaming have very few viewers, and it is not uncommon for viewers to be viewing one digit depending on the content. As a result, the reason why the operators of the channels do live streaming whatever illegal acts are done, the motivation remains mysterious. Williams tried contacting the operator, but he said that there was no response from either account.

Of course, the copyright owner is silently not watching the situation, it notifies YouTube to delete illegal contents, and by placing a reporting link on the page of each movie, I am in a position to accept reports. Moreover, contents of contents can be identified and managedContent IDWe have also created a mechanism to prevent illegal content from being delivered.


In response to Mashable's interview, YouTube respects the rights of copyright owners and has invested heavily in copyright and content management tools.Through copyright owners' reference video , We will scan all live streaming and if we find something that matches, we will take measures to pause and terminate streaming. " In addition, when asked for comment also in the 20th century Fox which is the copyright owner of King of the Hill, he said that he could not get a reply.

Apparently, even with the same video distribution platform, the live streaming format seems to have more sweet aspects than the normal upload format. Nonetheless, it is an act of violating law, not to mention distributing illegal content, and watching those live streaming may also encourage illegal acts, so avoid accessing easily It seems to be better to stay.
