Today generally positive news broke out for the Youtube creator community as it was announced by Youtube that creators would now have more protection when dealing with manual copyright claims.
Basically, what this means is that now creators can see a timestamp of the exact part of their video which is supposedly infringing, i.e. a 10 second audio clip. With this new policy, they can chose to change audio, remove it etc and supposedly this would still allow monetization of their video if the copyright is dealt with in a proper manner.
Whilst this marks good progression, the one negative is that automatic claims are still under the same rules as always; that is a creator cannot see the reason for the copyright and they are still in the dark in that sense.
Nonetheless, the news has mostly been received with happiness from the majority of Youtubers so at least it is a step in the right direction because before the policy (at times) was clearly abused and used as a tool to bully smaller creators.
