PewDiePie explains the real problem with YouTube\u2019s copyright system YouTube king Felix \u201cPewDiePie\u201d Kjellberg spoke out on YouTube\u2019s divisive copyright \u201cContent ID\u201d system, after fellow creator \u201cMumbo Jumbo\u201d received claims on all of his videos for music he owned. Upon browsing the \u201ca**holedesign\u201d subreddit on January 9, Kjellberg came across a May 2019 Tweet from Mumbo Jumbo, who claimed that a company was striking all of his YouTube videos \u2014 despite him owning the rights to all the music used in his content. \u201cA company is systematically copyright claiming every video I have ever made, despite me owning the rights to all music used in them,\u201d he wrote. \u201cPlease tell me I don\u2019t have to manually dispute all 1800 claims. Please Retweet. YouTube, your system is broken.\u201d Hey @TeamYouTube , @YouTube A company is systematically copyright claiming every video I have ever made, despite me owning the rights to all music used in them. Please tell me I don’t have to manually dispute all 1800 claims. Please Retweet. YouTube, your system is broken. pic.twitter.com\/ijFkSpa1mB \u2014 Mumbo Jumbo (@ThatMumboJumbo) May 19, 2019 As a popular Minecraft YouTuber with over 4.9 million subscribers, this mass copyright striking was certainly an alarming blow to Jumbo\u2019s business \u2014 but PewDiePie felt the issue wasn\u2019t necessarily the fault of YouTube, itself. While the striking happened due to a minor sample as part of his outro music, Pewds placed the blame on the music industry, noting that many copyright strikes come from massive companies in the business who choose to claim an entire video over a small selection of music. (Topic begins at 2:00 for mobile readers) \u201cIt\u2019s so moronic that it blows my mind,\u201d the Swede said of the matter. \u201cThe problem here isn\u2019t YouTube. The problem is the music industry. \u2018What? You used two seconds of our clip? That\u2019s mine! Mine!\u2019 The whole YouTube video, which has nothing to do with it. It blows my f**king mind.\u201d Mumbo Jumbo isn\u2019t the only YouTuber to have been hit due to such a small sample, by far. In fact, YouTube philanthropist Mr Beast was struck in February 2019, after he and his squad merely sang the chorus of Bon Jovi\u2019s \u201cLivin\u2019 on a Prayer.\u201d Last tweet about getting claimed, hope this gives more context. pic.twitter.com\/cHJDCa75i0 \u2014 MrBeast (@MrBeast) February 11, 2019 However, it\u2019s not just the music industry sending out mass copyright claims \u2014 anime reaction YouTuber Suzy Lu was hit with a mass \u201cbot\u201d from TV network Tokyo TV in late December, which similarly affected a huge swath of her Naruto-related content. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sMJVmCwl-bw&feature=emb_title In spite of the widespread complaints against YouTube\u2019s Content ID system, it doesn\u2019t look like the problems are going away anytime soon, as more and more YouTubers speak out on the huge companies\u2019 ability to take down their videos all at once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
