Why I'm Suing YouTube, by Business Casual
Not sure if this can be considered as tech news, so am posting it here, since this video definitely needs more eyeballs watching it.
Depending on future developments of the case, this could be HUGE, not only for YouTube, but for the whole idea of copyright, by mudding even more an already extremely subjective thing as 'fair use'. By RT and YouTube's logic, anyone could for example, take a LTT video, redub it in another language, reupload it to YouTube, and monetize it.
tl,dw: YouTube refuses to follow their own rules about copyright when the defendant is Russian state media, for seemingly monetary reasons, and is going as far as legally siding with the Russians against an American creator to undermine the DMCA.
