Probably a good idea to delete your re-uploads on YouTube until this is sorted too.

The cases we saw in the last couple of days have not been caused by a copyright claim of any sort. I am investigating the matter to better understand what we are dealing with and how can CCP assist to those affected.
Posting a release of copyright...on a webpage people could appeal and link...
This won't work. It's not the video assets in question but likely the licensed background music which I'm assuming CCP doesn't own.
i believe ccp said somewhere that they do own the the rights to it.
This would be a third party copyright holder for the music. Very likely you (CCP) have the license to use the song to make the videos, but not the license for wide release (full release of copyright). Pretty standard.
Think this is more of a youtube issue than a CCP issue so many people uploading basically identical videos
No they are not banning accounts. Copyrights claims are going out meaning these videos can not be monetised by you. And to be honest. I understand. This is a world of difference from getting a strike.
And even a strike is not a ban unless you already have 2.

they can still ruin people's livelihood though
I doubt that people who do Youtube for a living upload a random Eve Year in Review to their main account tbh.
Make questional decisions at your job and you would eventually be fired aswel. Can always start working at mc Donald's after your YouTube is removed.
I really don't think you understand what "questionable decisions" means.
Reposting a promotional video provided by and supporting a company is not a questionable decision though.
People uploading these videos are also not getting copyright strikes like op suggests.
PSA: This news is 14 days old.

Exactly. And beside that many other comments said the same.
To late for me.
nice try to get rid of competition OP
lmao
How about we switch to a competing video streaming service?
There's a joke in here somewhere...🤔
Out of curiosity, how does this potentially affect other youtube content; such as PvP / PvE, cinematic videos or videos using music that is the IP of CCP?
CCP is taking care of the trash for me? Nice! (JK, CCPlease!)
My Year In Eve : signed up on December 31. Was shocked that it ran on my crappy PC. Signed Out. The End.
Just upload on youporn
Hey, hows your titan video going?
Oh wait...
wtf are you talking about my dude

I just lost two youtube accounts. I didn't realize that the video was a problem so when I petitioned to have my account back (no subscribers, just personal). The second account has never left a comment and only uploaded the EVE video. They said the violation was scamming/spreading false info. I'm over google.
:(

Youtube is getting to be full of SHIT!
Please provide evidence of account bans. At most an uploader would get is a claim from whatever label owns the background music. Any YouTuber has dealt with this type of a thing before and it's no big deal.
Imagine thinking other people care about your year in Eve.
You're allowed to have hands, you're not allowed to make money off CCP's video though.
Pretty simple my dude.
CCPlease lol. How are they a real company.
This happens with even bigger companies. Pretty sure I saw one instance of a major band getting a take down notification from their own label or something equally silly.
It wasn't a band, it was a solo artist youtuber. He got copyright claim against his OC.
still better than bethesda.
dosn't need much for that . lol
🅱️ethetic
I uploaded it about a day after receiving the video, at which point YouTube's Content ID system issued a copyright claim due to the music CCP used. But this is not the same as a copyright strike. Are you sure you're seeing a proper strike?
Yeah this. The "copyright claim" just means you can't monetize i believe? Have had them appear on the historical EVE videos I uploaded recently. Doesn't impact me at all, not trying to make money from them.
Yep, strikes are for when your appeal to the claim is denied twice, then you get a strike. Maybe for special occasions and repeat offenders as well, I'm not sure.
It just means that any revenue from this video goes to the claiming party, which is the copyright holder for automated claims (but not always for manual claims, precisely why YT is fucked nowadays btw).
Actually, monetization for strikes goes into a trustee account and is only paid in the event that the claimant or alleged offender prevails
Google has a department dedicated to helping creators fight claimants because it is a trollfest that literally anyone can make a claim, and google ends up losing money the more content they have to pull, so if possible they work with you to try to help justify fair use.
It is also policy there to suspend an account once they have 3 strikes, regardless of pending strike processes. otherwise they could have a small number of re-uploading offenders spam a shit ton of content up and they risk losing their safe harbor provisions of the DMCA by being seen as willfully contributing to piracy
My copyright claim (not strike) came from BMI Music... Not from CCP.
It had no effect on me whatsoever since I don't monetize my videos and it's not a strike.
I think OP is being a little alarmist.
