Disney claims the Vader fan film and starts running ads on it to a make profit. The claim was manual so this isn't mistake. The Star Wars Theory channel asked Disney and lucasfilm on how to make the film without being copystriked or claimed. The channel didn't crowd fund or asked for donations to fund the film and it doesn't ran any add so it didn't make any profit out of it. So everything came own of the channels on pockets yet they break their promised and claimed the video for a sound track that was edited and shouldn't violated any rule. They got claimed on was something that sounds similar, but was not in fact the same thing. Everything else falls under fair use laws. They didn't even run any ads. Disney claimed it and after that they started running ads on it. Not cool man Do you think this is okay or not? Both lawfully and morally
talking about Disney claiming someone work to make profit is already old news to me. since all the Disney princess is just fanfiction of other people work
What? A global behemoth of a company being greedy? Shocker! In all seriousness, whenever large companies give promises that aren't legally binding 9.5 times out of 10 they intend to renege on them. Especially so in the case of there being money to be made. Alternatively, this could just be a case of shitty mid-level bureaucracy getting out of hand, since the ones ordering the claims are usually middle managers or their subordinates.
hey they lost approx 200-400 mil on Star Wars.....the have to make money ya know.....coz the SW theme park and its ridiculous $104/person ticket price with no added benefits wont cut it.....and Episode 9 will definitely bomb.....
The law is dead when morals be damned. This is about YouTube's copyright strike system not being managed by YouTube, but the content creators (channels) themselves. The No. 1 subscribed YouTube channel already addressed the algorithm, and discussed the overall unethical use of copyright claims or strikes against smaller channels for profit. Fair use is abused; such is the current era of YouTube.
Not just disney. That's been long time youtube problem in copyright claim system. Like this for example: Basically youtube only care for bigger youtuber/companies.
This is why a black and white is necessary when dealing with copyrights and patents. You just can't trust someone's words. Even if the person giving the promise is thrustworthy, the bosses can just kick him out and replace him with someone else. Then this someone would say, "We never made that agreement. Mr. **** did not represent us when he agreed to the matter."
it not first time do you mean monetization? well they can do that~ in fact on my country there case TV channel did that to youtube channel and that video even only contain several seconds footage~ talk less about disney and fanfic about it "product" morally on this case it similar with Qidian but lawfully sorry you can argue to lawyer~ deal with it~
This reminds me of a case where a youtuber got a copyright strike because his neighbor played a music when he was recording his video
