YouTube should remove their Content ID matching system outright.
YouTube should remove their Content ID matching system outright.
The Issue
The Content ID matching system prevents YouTube content creators from using short trailer clips or a few seconds of a song. Many YouTube content creators use video and song to better demonstrate an opinion, ie: a video game reviewer would use small clips of footage from the game and maybe a verse of a song to better emphasize an opinion or point that he/she is trying to make. Many companies have said that they did not submit any copyright claims to YouTube about a select video, therefore YouTube removes a video without reason. Without change, many "YouTubers" will be forced to close their channels because they no longer get paid for their videos.
