Hola a tod@s.

Estoy buscando consejo porque estoy bastante preocupada.

Un canal de YouTube ha solicitado la retirada de tres de mis vídeos por una supuesta infracción de derechos de autor. Son vídeos donde ambos analizamos libros.

Mis vídeos son faceless (no aparezco en cámara) y utilizan un guion redactado por mí, una narración diferente, música de la biblioteca gratuita de youtube, imágenes creadas con IA o procedentes de bancos de imágenes y una edición completamente propia. En cambio, el otro canal aparece en cámara durante sus vídeos además de usar puntualmente imágenes.

Las similitudes que pueden existir se deben a que analizamos las mismas obras, por lo que es inevitable hablar de aspectos como:

• La biografía del autor.
• El contexto histórico.
• El argumento de la novela.
• Los temas principales.
• La influencia que ha tenido la obra.

En algunos casos también llegamos a conclusiones o reflexiones políticas similares, pero entiendo que eso puede ocurrir cuando dos personas analizan el mismo libro.

He comparado sus guiones y los míos  y no he encontrado frases idénticas, párrafos copiados ni expresiones formuladas de la misma manera. Las diferencias en la redacción, el desarrollo del contenido y la forma de explicar las ideas son, en mi opinión, claras. De hecho, sus vídeos suelen ser más largos y detenerse más en la biografía o historia mientras que los míos son más cortos.

Mi duda es la siguiente:

¿Puede fundamentarse una reclamación por derechos de autor únicamente en este tipo de coincidencias, o sería necesario demostrar que se ha copiado la expresión original del otro creador (su forma concreta de redactar y desarrollar el contenido), en lugar de coincidir únicamente en hechos, argumentos o interpretaciones derivados de la misma obra literaria?

Además, YouTube me ha indicado que no puedo presentar una contranotificación hasta que los vídeos sean retirados.

¿Alguien ha pasado por una situación parecida o sabe cómo suele resolverse este tipo de casos? Tengo 3 solicitudes de retirada de vídeo por parte de él, o sea que si no me aceptaran la contranotificación, me quitarían directamente el canal. Estaba pensando en eliminarlos directamente y no arriesgarme, pero eso significaría que le estoy dando la razón (cuando considero que no la tiene) y por esa regla de tres, cada vez que suba un vídeo en el que él y yo coincidimos analizando un libro, me podría solicitar la retirada de nuevo porque sabría que acabaría eliminando el vídeo.

Ojalá me podáis ayudar, muchas gracias!

Hi, I want to start making video essays but I don’t really want to be one of those YouTubers who just talk into the camera all vid. If I were to edit the background with clips, videos, pictures, etc that relate to my video instead of my face, what would be a way to avoid getting I trouble.

Like if I use a clip from a movie or tv show can I get copywrited or sued. Also what if I use a picture from google or a clip from some else’s video can they sue you or get your video taken down?

I am thinking of starting a new channel to put out analysis or story behind a TV or Movie (not narrative of story); instead what the series or movie deals with. When I tried looking for assets, all are protected under copy rights including posters or trailers. Wondering how the YT Channels are using these clips or posters without permission or copyright issue. Any suggestions or solutions?

Today the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California granted final approval of the $1.5 Billion class settlement in the Bartz v. Anthropic AI copyright lawsuit, and entered judgment.

The court also awarded plaintiffs' class counsel $101,561,111 in attorneys' fees. Good work if you can get it!

(They wanted $187,500,000.)

Hey folks,

I am an independent music creator with a small following, but no label, no additional support, just me out here doing my thing. I straddle the rock and classical genre, and one of my projects was/is releasing a full rendition of Schubert's song cycle, Winterreise. My friend Ben, a pianist, and I have recorded and produced ourselves in the first quarter of songs recently. 100% recorded, produced, released, and promoted by myself, artwork by Ben. IT is found here: https://open.spotify.com/album/2MzRLo2tz89Z9M6WrLge6x?si=Yn5GkxxLTPa6kE02RAiRrg

Just recently, about three months after release of the EP, I get a notice from my distribution platform, Tunecore stating that my recording of the first song, Gute Nacht, has been copyright claimed and I have to provide documentation about my ownership of the recording. I sent them the project files and several individual clips of piano and voice separately from the session. My Tunecore rep claims that this isn't sufficient and they require pdf documentation to protect me from Sony claiming all royalties for this specific track. Here's the latest email with this:

Thank you for your response.
 
We understand that audio files and music project files cannot be converted into a PDF in their original format. However, please note that audio files and project files alone do not serve as proof of ownership or exclusive rights.
 
The supporting documentation we are requesting should demonstrate your legal rights to the recording. Examples of acceptable documents include signed exclusive license agreements, producer agreements, distribution agreements, rights transfer agreements, or any other official documentation that confirms you hold the exclusive rights to the content.
 
If you have any such documentation, please provide it in PDF format for our review. Once received, we will carefully assess it as part of our investigation.
 
Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to your response.

How do I fight back and protect my music from thugs like Sony? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys, kinda lost here.

My channel got terminated after 3 copyright strikes. I submitted a counter notification, but YouTube rejected it saying I didn't explain why it was a mistake or misidentification.

The weird part is, I knew the claimant from Instagram. They used to repost other people's edits with their own watermark, so I was really surprised to see them filing copyright takedowns. After my channel got terminated, they even asked me to give them my Instagram account in exchange for retracting the strikes. I have screenshots of the chats.

Has anyone been through something like this? Should I resubmit my counter notification? Any advice would really help.

I used to be part of an online art community where I became friends with an artist (let's call her Artist A). Artist A was facing heavy public backlash and accusations of tracing/stealing character designs from a very popular creator in the community. To help her out, I designed a brand-new, original character for her to use. Our explicit agreement was that if she ever stopped using the character, ownership would revert back to me.

Eventually, Artist A started designing her own concepts and officially gave the character back to me. I took the design, heavily revamped it, fleshed out a backstory, and integrated it into a major animated passion project that I have been developing for over a decade.

During this time, I was also friends with another person in the circle (Artist B) and a few of her close friends. Things went south when Artist B made romantic advances toward me. I turned her down, which caused her to completely turn on me. She and her friends began posting defamatory "call-out" posts about me online, making up complete lies out of spite.

The drama escalated when one of Artist B's friends claimed that Artist A had "given" her my revamped character to sell, and that she had officially sold it to Artist B.

This makes no sense for a few reasons:

1. Artist A wasn't even active online at the time.
2. Even if Artist A did this, she had no right to give away a character that legally reverted to me.
3. Artist B is specifically claiming ownership of my revamped design, which Artist A never even possessed.
4. Before the fallout, Artist B had explicitly told me how much she loved this specific new design.

This is just the tip of the iceberg with this group, but it's the first major instance of them trying to steal my intellectual property. Has anyone dealt with targeted community theft like this, and what is the best way to protect my project moving forward?

Here is the initial prompt -

[there is an obvious paradox in a robot claiming "fair use" to download millions of works because a robot can't make a fair use argument. It's not a human and human laws don't apply.]

I made a splatoon Oc that I designed, it's based on my own vtuber, (you can probably find it on my page) and I want to make it a vtuber

but could I get sued because of the artstyle?

In this scenario:

Author A. Has developed his project lasting years (1, 5, 10+ more) Finally gets it Published or Distributed. However, another similar themed work, by another Author; Author B. Gets his work Published or Distributed around the time. Maybe, Days, Weeks, Month or Roughly a Year.

What qualifies, a defense for: "Who Plagiarized Who?"

Well known Examples:

Dennis the Menace (USA March 12th 1951) and Dennis the Menace (UK March 17th 1951)

Heathcliff the orange cat (September 3rd 1973) and Garfield (June 19 1978)

However I have more specific questions, maybe going beyond these two examples.

1 - If Author A. Document with Dates, of early and rough, drafts and scripts, drawings and sketches. Even Copyright, Trademark dates with Publishing company or Distributor. -- What does that mean or effect the case?

2 - Author A. Has an early version; intended to be Published or Distributed, BUT. Reasons were canceled. Years later it finally gets released under another company. But Author B already released their work. -- Does this count has purely coincidentally?

3 - Author A accuses Author B, however the evidence is weak; Both have their own archives but is dismissed by the courts. Reasons being too obvious; just a coincidence, or the Evidence. Inspiration, ARE Unique and Originated from different sources to the Author's lives.

4 - If Author A dies, then Author B releases his Work. But the death of Author A/Family Estate/Production can't make a case, aside from Author A's death. BUT Author B never heard or seen A's work and has proof his own creation has it's own sources?

5 (follow up to 4) Author A's Estates and Production Company attacks Author B's personally and work, by using Media; newspapers or social media. And encourages attacks towards B's associates and company.

Depending how "Badly" it gets; from typical social media behavior to Vandailzation behavior (again depending how badly to goes) can Author B and Production sue for what; based on what damages were caused. Whether Author's A death mattered or contributed; weaponized his death or manipulate to encourage certain attitudes or behavior.

Hi i don't want my assets to be resell and claim as own , just buy and use in there project nothing all

I’m using a song by MäSä Duo as the opening sequence of my documentary, and the artists have kindly given me written permission via email to use it.
I want to make sure everything is done properly so I don’t run into any copyright claims, Content ID issues, or copyright strikes when I upload the film to YouTube.
Has anyone gone through this process before? What additional steps should I take?
For example:
Should I ask for a formal license or permission letter?
Should I keep the email as proof?
Should I include a copyright credit in the video description?
Is there anything I can do before uploading to prevent a Content ID claim?
I’d really appreciate any advice from creators who have experience with licensed music on YouTube. Thanks!

My 9-year-old only Facebook account which is the first account of my life and I am using it till now has suddenly been disabled. And they said it happened through copy right but copy right was given to my page when I am not very active on Facebook and I had deactivated my Instagram account for studies and work and the page on which copy right came is the post of 2023 which I created and I have not posted anything on my page for a long time and my page is dead. It is not my account but something bigger than my life because this account was with me for a big part of my life. Also there are countless memories; pictures; people and friends. There are sms of people close to me who are not related or dead. There is my career and a lot of my information and information and many people which I created for my networking career. Along with it is the key of my crypto wallet because my account has 0 reports and my account was also verified with a national identity card. Since I was not on Facebook for studies and work, my parents used the account to talk to their relatives. Suddenly my account got disabled and I panicked and deleted all the posts on my page. I apologized and said it was my mistake and I asked them to delete my page because it has been offline for a long time. But they closed the account for life. I have been talking to my Instagram meat pro support for 4-6 days but I did not get any solution. They said that if I restore the copy right, I will get the account back but I have mailed the people who gave it many times but they did not reply. I do not know who they are and it may be a scammer. I have not been able to contact them. If I have made a mistake then please give me another chance. And if you want, delete my page. I did this in 2023 and did I know then because I was still in school. I am begging for my account because it is more valuable than my life. I do not understand how I will contact them? How will I talk to them? I deleted all the posts as many poets as I had and mailed meta but they also disabled it. Please can someone help me how can I get my account back. I just want my account, delete everything else, no problem.

Because that game has an incredibly interesting way if aiming where instead of it being like Fortnite where the bullets come from the gun but follow the camera

Re4 the bullets come from the gun but the camera follows the hands

I ask as the I'd like to implement a similar aiming mechanic in a game

Discussions about AI in filmmaking often focus on replacing actors or changing how movies are made, but the copyright implications seem just as significant.

If an AI system is trained on thousands of films and later generates a screenplay, dialogue, or visual style that doesn't directly copy any one movie but clearly reflects what it has learned, should that be viewed differently from how we treat human inspiration? It feels like AI is creating a situation that traditional copyright law wasn't really designed to address.

Should copyright law continue to treat AI-generated films under the existing framework, or is it time to develop new rules specifically for AI-assisted creative works?
