Youtube Copyright Problems
- Thread starter RATED-RKOFRANKLIN
- Start date
There are supposed to be ads on the page, but not on the video unless a copyrighted song is in it (Then there is an ad for that song) or the video is like sponsored or whatever, and then you can make money off of the ads that get placed on your video.
I think UWE is being ridiculous. "It happens, tough shit" is a terrible way to look at it. If this happened to one of my videos, I'd be talking a lot more with the company, and I find it hard to believe I would get literally nowhere with it.

What's wrong with ads on your video? There's no use getting all up in arms about it when it's not a big deal. I don't even get why people are bothered by this @_@DeM0nFiRe":2hj1btsg said:
I can still watch a video on Youtube and not give a shit if there's ads around.

As much as I hate to say this, Demon has a good point. While most of you aren't bothered by ads on youtube, it is completely and totally illegal for this company to claim copyright on your videos so that they can place ads on them, without giving you a penny's worth of profit for your work. Specifically, this is something that should be brought to Google's attention, since they can actually ban that company from making claims to avoid potential troubles from the real copyright owners. Let's face it, your videos get muted because you put in someone else's IP, and Google wants to avoid potential lawsuits from that person/entity. They're just as likely to cooperate with users, since we have the same potential to hurt Google, en masse, that a record label has. And it looks like this company is offending quite a few users by claiming popular videos, which means that there is a potential for these users to gang up and file a class action lawsuit against Google for allowing their copyrights to be abused like that.
What's wrong with agreeing with me? :box:
I know how to set one up, it's not all that complicated. I actually started thinking about doing something like that after I saw this thread. The problem is that it is very resource intensive. I have a 9 minute video that is very poor quality here on my desktop and it is 20 MB (In the RAW format it is 448 MB. In the highest compressed, but still lossless version, it's probably closer to 100MB) Anyway, that's 20MB per view of bandwidth used. 100 views is 2Gb of bandwidth. Even in the smaller viewerbase of hbgames (smaller compared to youtube) You'd hit that in what? an hour? Maybe 2? Let's say an average of 50 views of 20MB each hour, that's still 730GB a month. Add that on top of whatever the usage of hbgames is already (because you couldn't do this on a shared hosting account like the other side-sites for hbgames are on) and that would be pretty bad.
Also, on average, that is about 2.4 megabits/s uploading bandwidth My internet connection is 1 megabit per second up. I am sure the hbgames server is higher than this, but by how much?

Heh, well, I am pretty sure they are well beyond the point where they have to support themselves, they are just going for making more money at this point. Not that they don't deserve to be making money, I just don't think they should forget about customer support and customer relations.
EDIT: Also, yeah, youtube gets a hell of a lot more than 50 20MB views an hour, I'm not even sure what the number would be, but there actual outgoing bandwidth usage must me somewhere in the tens of gigabits per second

They hit over a billion total views last year, and they're well on their way to the next billion as we speak.

If the videos are on youtube for a small community then why not just upload them to a file share so people can download them. It might not be the same as streaming but it avoids the ads. Thats probably what I would do. You can also select veiw so that a temporary file is created.
