Unnamed Section[edit]

I removed the proposed deletion tab because I've to edit it further. Please give me reasonable time for that. Thanks. Dinuraeditions (talk)

Hi, I'm not the one who tagged the page, but can you say why this content is better off here rather than in the relevant section of the Youtube article? It is often preferable to keep things all together, so a reader reading about YT's policies doesn't have to split off to read here, then go back to where they were. Thanks!

React trademark section[edit]

The section on the Fine Bros' trademark on the word 'REACT' might not be relevant as it was an issue on trademarks, not copyright. Skymann102 (talk) 13:06, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Story of a massacre[edit]

Just discovered about a story, regarding some user making copyright claims on videos owned by this user. Usually, third-party companies such as Shopro and Viacom are allowed to do that, but an independent user cannot. Even if the video quality and duration was different from what another user uploaded, there's no way anyone can make a blatant erroneous claim, because it is usually against YouTube's terms of use.
