It seems everyone but you owns your videos. Fran said the content on those laserdiscs is not available anywhere else. Not on DVD, not on TV maybe on some obscure VHS tape somewhere. If anyone owns it, its NASA, certainly not the BBC. There are ways to fool the content ID system. Slow it down, put a border around the video, split it up into parts.
It's insane. I said about ten years ago, every single thing would become marketed commodity... even the air we breathe. It's coming. You tube was every random and cool thing.... once. Fran is keeping it real...... trying to keep it real. It's sad to see the stress of it. Doing what you love isn't an option any more. Someone will appear to stand over you and extort the living crap out of you, no matter what you do. I don't like it.
I'm not sure Algorithms have ever been the best way of finding new stuff... Sometimes you might get turned onto something good if you're lucky... But not often.
@@mikethebloodthirsty They usualy just chewing on old material ower and ower again i allredy watthed several times, or some fancy milion babe channels wich does not interest me even the slightest.
@@mikethebloodthirsty Algorithms are used by Google because 1) they can, 2) Google is too lazy to hire people to actually review the content and 3) It's the fastest way to "detect" infringement. Unfortunately, RU-vid's own algorithmic detection is ripe for abuse. Today, that's mostly how it's used. People create "content holder" accounts and then flag anything and everything they possibly can. The Multi-Channel Networks (MCNs) are mostly responsible for this. If you are a channel owner and join an MCN, everything you upload becomes listed under the content ID matching system, even if it's not valid content or content that you don't actually own. I've had many copyright claims made on videos that make no sense strictly because a channel (which was part of an MCN) uploaded a video that contained the same cutscene as all other people will see on a play through. This then causes a copyright claim due to content ID matching for a channel who has no valid claim on that content. RU-vid's "detection" system is far too simplistic and is easily gamed. And yet, Google definitely knows this and does nothing about it.
That "Foundation" was more like a Wikipedia, attempting to store the sum total knowledge of their civilization, so it could be rebuilt after the predicted collapse, and rebuilt much more quickly.
RU-vid is canibalizing itself. Other highly successful channels are struggling too. I feel it’s the beginning of the end of RU-vid, at least as we know it.
I think that’s part of it. It’s a broken model with how they monetize me it. We went from short commercials we could skip to now having a minimum of two commercials at beginning and can’t skip the first one. THEN, you might have a advertisement every 5 minutes. I’ve literally watched a 25 minute instructional video that had 5 different advertisement breaks in it...
@@lesferguson7020 its AI.. RU-vid doesn't want to assume liability so they bend over backwards to comply with the DMCA as well as using their own in house system meant to augment it to avoid vicarious liability like cox was hit with. The problem is that AI or artificial intelligence has advanced to a point of availability that it is easier and easier for more markets and people to access it. This leads to powerful tools in the hands of idiots who trust technology over common sense. In shot, AI is allowing morons to feel as confident as professionals. As this happens, you will find people or organizations making spurious claims and youtube is afraid to error in any way that would expose them to liability. This copyright clampdown really started about the time Cox lost and was liable for 1 billion dollars to various recording labels.
its a hard balance trying to do what you like and what gets the views, plus this is the lowest income month, l try and do a long sunday vid to appeal the viewers but if l get some others more my liking l put them up mid week, but maintain every sunday, 1st.
The good thing is, at least you uploaded them to Patreon, and not YT. You would've gotten copyright strikes. YT likes to push big channels, it's really obvious when you see the trending list.....A popular channel (mostly the "goof off" or "family" type that don't help viewers save money or educate them)can have 250K views in 12 hours and be "Trending", meanwhile you or I can have more views for a video in that same time frame, and you won't be on the trending list. I've only been on the list twice. Smaller channels videos get buried way down the search results. I've had viewers tell me many times over the years, I was searching for a particular DIY repair video, and watched 10-20 first, and when they found mine 2 pages down, it was the best and they couldn't figure out why it wasn't at the top. YT can be very frustrating.
10:42 It seems to me that RU-vid is not interesting in helping anyone unless they have like 1,000,000 or more subscribers, multi-millions of views and can shove ads down your throat every 2-3 minutes in a 10-15 minute video.
There's nothing that says you can't monetize public domain materials. Unfortunately, what Fran attempted to post isn't in the public domain. The copyrights on that LD compilation haven't yet expired. This means that placing a copy onto RU-vid likely constituted unauthorized duplication of that compilation. So... here's the misnomer. Regardless of whether or not you make money, copyrights remain valid to the copyright holder. It's not whether you make money, it's the act of unauthorized copying / duplication that is considered infringement. Placing a copy on RU-vid violates "copy" + "rights" (i.e, copyrights). If, as a copyright holder, you don't ask for removal of all unauthorized copies, that's as good as saying it _is_ a valid copy. The act of not requesting removal of unauthorized copies dilutes your copyright and makes your claims weaker in the future. If you wish to retain copyrights over your material, you must be diligent in asking for removal of all unauthorized copies... else, you may lose your copyright over that material.
@@monad_tcp I remember a time when RU-vid RARELY have ads and when they did show up it was a 5 second spot. Seriously, 5 second ads. And again this was once in a blue moon. Man, does that make me old? RU-vid is so fucked right now, I've been witness to asinine behavior on YT's part that can only be explained by exec's who live in a bubble calling the shots.
@TheCessnaDriver Eventually, Archive.org will be forced to succumb to RIAA and MPAA pressures, forcing them to cave in and perform DMCA takedowns. For now, Archive.org has been quietly out of reach of Hollywood. At some point, they won't be and there _will_ come legal pressures to either get them to comply with alleged copyright holder claims or face losing their entire domain by their domain registrar. Domain registrars don't take kindly to domain holders who willfully break the domain registrar's own terms and conditions. Domain registrars are then more than willing to suspend domains for breaking said terms and conditions. Archive.org needs to be careful.
@@abigguitar - there's no reason to be defeatist about this. There could be no greater difference in policy than between RU-vid and Archive.org. The latter will fight false copyright claims and fight to keep things lawfully in the public domain. RU-vid just wants to make money, and thus provides a venue for those who steal from the public domain, and then take a cut from the add revenue. Again, archive.org fights for public domain, RU-vid is a major accomplice to the criminal gangs stealing from it.
@@steve1978ger It doesn't matter that Archive is willing to fight false copyright claims because RIAA and MPAA have deep pockets, and they can bankrupt Archive with a constant barrage of lawsuits. The correct action would be to upload them to The Pirate Bay where they can never be taken down. In that sense, The Pirate Bay is actually the greatest internet archive in existence!
I'm a new subber, and I have almost never seen a suggestion from YT to watch your videos. YT sucks more all the time. Other channels I regularly watch have gone to another forum to escape the crap that YT slings.
The Space Odyssey panel was actually one of the videos that I really enjoyed watching. You shouldn't put too much attention to the growth. The viewers you get from shallow content most likely won't be very engaged and will less likely support you on Patreon. I have the exact same experience. I see selling kits more like a community service. Nevertheless, the margins were still ok to finance all the hardware I needed and a new editing PC last year. I create the boards for my projects anyways so I just order a few more. A sold batch pays for the next batches. Taking paid sponsorships might take some financial pressure from you. The viewers won't mind. Keep it up!
I quit paying the BBC license fee when I quit watching TV for RU-vid two years ago, I now pay the same amount per month via Patrion to my favourite channels. I give twice as much to Fran as I do to others because her channel is twice as awesome. Enjoy the break Fran, burnout is hard but you'll get there.
I have TWO channels over the 150K sub mark and I'm still living hand-to-mouth. Making RU-vid a full-time gig is *NOT* an easy path. On the up-side, RU-vid themselves are doing "very nicely thank you" with ad revenues of $15b, up from $11b a year ago. Creators are hurting but YT isn't.
@@patrickroeill8746 lol what other platform? twitch? Patreon? How do you get patrons? My other channel go deleted and I filed about half a dozen appeals over about 6 moths and I just go it back the other day, so thats cool. And I don't even have content on it. But I was banned off of youtube before I ever even uploaded. They never told me WHY i got suspended. Just that I violated terms of service and their harassment policy. I kind of think it was for posting a link to a website off of youtube. Because I don't use strong language or anything unless its a channel and comment section that already has that type of thing. In some of my discussions in youtube comment sections every now and again I might post a link to an article or news page and thats against terms of service apparently. So thats my best guess. But I never got any sort of warning. Just went to the grocery store, got back, and my channel was banned. I was working on videos at the time and was told I was not allowed on the platform. I couldn't even log onto another account if I was on google chrome. I had to switch back to using firefox to even log into my back up account. But i was blocked from even trying to start a channel in the future. So atleast I got my channel back and the right to be a potential creator, but the nature of my content is critical so it really does make me worry about the problems i will face in the future.
I don't think RU-vid is necessarily mature yet. This may become the go to tv of the future, and perhaps revenue for channels will improve. We'll have to see.
@@jc.1191 Sorry but revenues for channels are about to take a dive. YT is giving itself permission to put ads on *all* videos, even non-monetized channels. That means they'll have a glut of ad-space and the laws of supply & demand dictate that this will see a dramatic fall in the price of advertising -- thus the amount that partner channels receive. Once again, YT wins, content creators lose :-( I made a video about this recently.
Fran, you just need exposure. Makers the world over love your content, myself included. I found you through Adam Savage and Tested, I like your kits idea but maybe it's time for more collab videos and work with larger followings. Big fan, first time Patreon; Frank.
I've done the numbers - a few times - and it always comes up the same. I was going to do the Sputnik reproduction kit but it would have been a $40 item, if you printed your own case!
@@FranLab I've thought about making kits but the problem is I can build the kits to a high standard but will people buying them be able to? So that opens up to constantly being in contact with people trying to build a complex product with limited soldering skills for sometime after the product has shipped and the cash been spent. No thanks! I've spend over 2 years developing the firmware, designing a PCB and aluminium case and still nowhere near market. You are right manufacturing your own product is a mugs game, I hope to get my box of tricks out as a niche product but it highly unlikely to make me any money for the time and effort put in.
This reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend a few weeks ago about RU-vid and what, or more specifically who, it's really for. Despite often being trumpeted as a platform for independent content creators, it isn't, it's for big business to further its own ends and make itself even wealthier, and the longer RU-vid exists, the fewer opportunities it provides for the independent creator as they get swamped by content from huge media conglomerates who are responsible for the vast majority of the most viewed RU-vid content now. These companies know the cost of everything but the value of nothing, and in the market society information and knowledge and creativity is only valued if it can be profited from by some fatcat.
You should upload these discs to the Internet Archive. They don't have any automated copyright bots (though the downside is that if content uploaded on your account gets too many manual takedown requests they'll just purge everything you've uploaded, and your account, with no recourse).
@@aspensmonster I'm still seeing a bunch of 'abandonware' software being uploaded to the Internet Archive. There's plenty of companies that would probably want some of that stuff taken down and I've been quite surprised what I'm easily able to find there.
@@aspensmonster I don't think the data is actually deleted, but good luck accessing any of it. This happened to my first account there so I know first hand.
I have uploaded quite a bit of content to the Internet Archive. All of it is public domain. Copyright has been claimed in a couple of cases, even when the original copyright was owned by the UK Government and I have their authority to publish it!
It's harder to get more attention on RU-vid these days because there's so many more people doing it, and doing it full time. So there's just that much more high quality content trying to get everyone's attention. Very different from how it was five years ago.
I wouldn't call it *quality* content so much as there's just plain content. True the budget for a lot of channels are growing so there's a lot of "flash" but as far as actual quality content, IMHO, is really hit or miss. There's channels I sub/watch that I think are quality but almost all of them have been in my subs for a very long time. That's because as soon as I find one I sub, BUT, that honestly doesn't come around all that much. At least for the amount of subjects I'm interested in. This is only my opinion though.
Do what you love. Focus on making sure that at the beginning of every video you remind people to subscribe, let them know how to support you, patreon, bit coin, paypal and ask them to share your videos. Sell tools and repair kits from a drop ship company. You got this.
I work for NASA as an animator. I create a spacecraft piece and put it out through normal channels. Free for use by the public. Later, a company makes a video using it. I cannot by law upload or use it in that edited and copywritten form, even though it would not exist without me.
Yes! Thank you! You can make treatments of public domain material and it would fall under copyright. Even editing a video in a certain way is such a treatment, and it is likely why these are under copyright. Though, I don't understand why the BBC would be claiming copyright, could be some license transfers and such going on.
@@JamesMears76 then you have to file a counterclaim, and that's when it gets dicey, and if the company pushes back on its fraudulent claim then you could end up with a strike against your channel, or a long time in civil courts trying to clear it up. The system is broken, largely because RU-vid has decided it will not act as an arbiter in these situations. Read up on the situation around the copyright journey the channel h3h3 had to deal with, which ended up in a lawsuit, which they won. Still, months and months of work, and money and stress involved.
@@stephenpwilson1930 the question is whether this specific situation is nasty tactics though. The source material from NASA is obviously in the public domain. But if I take that material and alter it in any way (even things like color grading, or editing the timing, anything) that new interpretation is copyrighted to me, similarly how this material would be copyrighted to whoever made the laserdiscs. For you to use my material would be in breach of the copyright, you would have to go back to the NASA source material and publish that to be on the right side of copyright legislation. This extends to just about anything. Films like Nosferatu are in the public domain, so you can take that and recut it into a short film, for instance, and I cannot take that recut that you made and publish it like my own, even though I could do that with the original Nosferatu movie. A better license would be for the NASA material to be licensed under Creative Commons Share Alike, which requires the new material to be shared under the same license, meaning anyone could use the derivatives as well. However, that would require a major change in operation for copyright legislation in the US, since the current laws were made before Creative Commons was ever thought up.
RU-vid is just plain broken. I miss videos from my favorite channels all the time. I generally have youtube auto-playing in my office all day as I work. Instead of showing me new content from the channels that I'm subscribed to, it often insists on showing me old videos that I have already seen (sometimes just earlier in the day) and other random stuff. Obviously this means that my favorite channels aren't getting paid.
OMG yes. The repeated videos I've already watched is insane these days. Alternately, I get presented with weird content I don't want to see at all. Add to that the fact that there is no way to actually block channels I personally find useless or disgusting... ugh
Never use automatic play. The AI behind the scenes does not know you, and can't be bothered to get to know you, if it is even cabable in some limited way. Instead, it shows you things that happened to be watched by others who had some similar viewing to yours, which has the net effect of the AI 'thinking' you are like those other people in your tastes, which is mostly untrue. But the implied similarity persists, and you will continue to get things you are not interested in, and may violently dislike. And if you clear your RU-vid history, it is no better, because then the machine has NO idea about what you have shown you like. If the YT AI is going to remember everything, it could at least make it easier to find JUST the things you have watched, in a special list, and just the things you have liked in another list, and similarly for disliked, commented on, etc. But noooooo, that would be too useful, too human-friendly. :/
Stomp a bunch of DVDs for your own archive backup purposes. I'll hold a full set for you. You can charge me for storage of your backup copies if you want. 👊😎
Yeah, post DMCA you effectively have no appeals process and no recourse. No process. If it's old enough, it should be public domain. Your video on the Hollywood warehouse fire makes it crystal clear that we are going to *lose* important cultural works because of this.
I used to volunteer for a 16mm educational film archive (afana.org). They are in a similar position, hanging onto wonderful educational content that is trapped in an obsolete format. In some cases they have the only extant copies, and in some cases, the copyright status is utterly unclear -- the artists are long gone, the publishers defunct, the negatives lost or destroyed. Even Google got into trouble when they tried to digitize and make freely-available all of the out-of-print books. It's a huge mess. Do not know what can be done about it :(
Old enough doesn't even matter. NASA stuff (and anything else from the government) is public domain from the start. (This is a particular problem with C-Span content. Videos of congress don't get copyright protection, but once a news organization broadcasts something using C-Span content, they'll totally use the RU-vid claim system on anyone that uses that clip. Totally illegal, but not worth pursuing.)
Wish I knew what to say about your issues attracting viewers -- relying on RU-vid's algorithm is probably not a good plan -- you need to promote your channel elsewhere, but obviously that's easier said than done.
Stuff by the US Government are supposed to be in the public domain and uncopyrightable. Ever heard of dBase II/III/IV? Ashton-Tate created it, and eventually Borland bought it from them. Then the US Government got involved, and it turns out that the original code was a US Govt project, so it was uncopyrightable. Borland and Ashton-Tate both basically had a hugely popular application that suddenly, overnight, was rendered public domain and no longer their property. Anyone could use the xBase code in their own products. That spawned systems like Foxbase, Foxpro, Clipper, Force IV, and other xBase-derived systems. All they had to do was completely rewrite the code to make it unique, and they could copyright THAT. These people who are slamming the NASA footage with copyright claims are claiming to own something they can't possibly own, and it's just not right.
Fran, I can say that as a long time subscriber that RU-vid's algorithms will show me things that I am not interested in so much more often than YOUR videos that I actually SUBSCRIBE to. You're not letting us down, it's the media you're on (RU-vid) that is. Keep on keepin' on! I know it has to be tough, and there are probably times that you question going on, but you mean so much to so many people. I know this because your videos have been a source of entertainment and delight for this old EE for many years. You're 99% right about manufacturing, too, and the kit economy is not only a whole lot of work but minimal margins. However, I think people would pay $60 (or more) for a kit. Grab an old Heathkit catalog from the late 70s or early 80s and check the prices on some of their stuff... then triple it to adjust for inflation for today's dollars. Granted, todays maker market is different than the amateur radio/hobbyist computer market of those days and Heathkit is probably not the best poster child for anything, but I think you get the idea.
Fran, you need to get in touch with Leonard French from "The Lawful Masses with Leonard French" channel. He is a whiz with copyright law and can probably give you some advice regarding spurious DMCA claims... He has an awesome community behind him as well, and if he brought up your issues on his channel, you might pick up a few extra viewers (and, as a result, more community support). He's in Allentown, so he's fairly local to you. I know how you feel about being blocked. I've gotten videos taken down out of nowhere that had been posted for nearly three years. I can't believe how insane YT has become with copyright, nailing my driving videos where a part of a song plays, but perfectly fine with dozens of lyrics videos with Google Image slideshows of the same song in HQ.
Who owns the library? Well, no, publishers cannot stop you from reading books, that has nothing to do with copyright. However, if you take a book from the library, copy it and distribute it, then yeah, the publishers would probably have an issue with that. That is essentially what you're doing here, you're distributing copyrighted material. Well, that's the second question, is it copyrighted? If it is fully NASA material then no it is not copyrighted, because everything NASA publishes is in the public domain and claims of its copyright is fraudulent. However, depending on what has been done with that material before it was put on the laserdiscs it may have ended up being copyrighted again. Like writing music using sounds/data from NASA missions for instance, or painting a painting based on a space photograph. There are many examples. Either way, RU-vid is really the wrong platform for the preservation of this kind of material. Archive dot org would be a much better outlet, and I would encourage you to upload it there.
Glad I wasn't the only one to balk at that analogy. I'd love to see such things be free/public domain/whatever, but under existing law, that's just not the reality. Libraries are free of charge to use, though, in pretty much every United States municipality that has a public one (at least as far as I know)... but they'll still use DRM, etc.
Lam... is it really? How much old stuff is uploaded for the benefit of research and just for the joy of seeing the stuff that made civilisation what it is? Cool stuff is often lost among the dross.
It is not about big money. You an engineer do not need them. Why are you afraid of less than who you are ? Never heard of collaboration/community ? FAKE NUMBERS NEVER ADD UP. SO WHY DO YOU TRY ??? 🤔
@@zizmares PeerTube might become a competitor one day. It's decentralised, so there's no central entity that can blacklist videos, do one-click copyright claims and stuff. It's a collection of lots and lots of servers, all interconnected and independently managed by completely different people (and all with slightly varying rules). But the best thing is: You could set up your own PeerTube server and connect it to the rest of the network. And even if all other systems blacklist your videos (which is highly unlikely), they would still be visible on your own servers.
What we need is to crack the barrier to multicasting from a residential connection. It's a technical barrier. Broadcast a stream that millions can connect to at once.
@@mbirth That still involves seeding the channel with lots of P2P computer nodes. This is why BitChute often just buffers instead of playing the video. I've stopped trying to watch content on BitChute because the videos frequently won't play after a reasonable wait. What I'm talking about here is making a stream from your home residential computer and crafting the code so that when each viewer connects, it's an open stream to be tapped, not a new private connection. The idea is making the stream public so one stream, many viewers.
WELL TIME SHOW THET YOU DID GET MORE SUBSCRIBERS ( 257 k :) IMPORTANT VIDEO FROM YOUR FEELINGS !!! HOPING YOU GOT A LOT MORE PATRONS . DO WAT YOU LOVE AND ENJOY DOING AND ALL WHO WILL ENJOY YOUR WAY WILL SUPPORT YOU :) THANK YOU FOR SHARING :) THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
The accuser doesn't have to show ownership? I thought in any copyright claim, you would have to show you had legal ownership of the material...what am I overlooking ?
It seems the copyright landscape is tilted in favor of the artist/creator in order to encourage more creativity. And CR laws differ internationally. At least in US law, any new creation (including things like this BBC compilation) are automatically given copyrighted status unless the creator says otherwise. Hence, "ownership" is automatic; you don't have to go to some agency and get an ownership certificate. Therefore, "showing ownership" isn't as simple as showing the deed to your house or title to your car.
Those laderdiscs may have been using the news company edits of the NASA material. Because if this was the raw NASA material, those copyright claimants should be sued to hell for claiming copyright in government materials. And RU-vid should be sued for allowing it.
If BBC is claiming they they own the copyright, and that can be proved illegal, then I think you can sue them for damages, and/or at least get an injunction.
Sounds to me like you need to rethink your business plan Fran. I think a lot of people get into YT thinking it will be less work & more $ than it actually is. I've been kicking around doing something similar to FL (less variety/different/more specific theme) but have not yet, due to successful people like yourself sharing the sharing the knowledge & challenges. What if you auctioned off some of your vintage tech & video projects online? I'm sure you'd get top dollar & some bidding wars from nostalgic fans. Maybe that could supplement your patron revenue enough for you to at least break even.
7:20 I'm glad you brought that up you said that the jerkoff that ran the apartment turned on the water and flooded it :( Were you ever able to pursue civil litigation ?
Interestingly this is the first video I've seen pop up on RU-vid from you in quite a while now that I think of it...I'm still subscribed...wtf RU-vid - it's suggesting me tons of crap I am not sub'd to and not pointing out new videos from people I do subscribe to...
Sure glad i didnt subscribe or become a patron. Usually a person that listens to whining ( psychiatrist ) gets paid- not the other way around. Sadly Fran, the market for your content is geeks and oddballs who like free stuff. You always speak of being pitched out of this job or that. For the life of me i cant understand why that happened. Also i just fell off a turnip truck. I hear Elon Musk is looking for people to go on the Mars mission. The overwhelming weight of Franlab, ( after bringing peace to the middle east and curing cancer) is insurmountable.
I am presently in the process of setting up a video server that will be open to the world. If you want to send me any video you'd like hosted on this server then feel free. I've had so much stuff demonetized by RU-vid (unfairly) I've decided to put *anything* they demonetize on that server and thus it will be totally beyond the reach of the copyright trolls.
Hello capitalism. Sacred private property. The rich own more and more. Turner owns classic movies, The Waltons own the store. Dynastic family properties, Mega corporate royals. Ownership society. There's not much left in spoils. Have correct change counted, If you want to see the peek show. Think of selling a kidney, If you need the fee to go. This person is not impressed with certain mounting social inequity. This is my ad hoc poem response. lol
I understand uploading songs that someone owns and wants to profit on, but they've gone way too far with it. I got hit with a copyright claim on a video because it was in a busy restaurant and in the background someone's phone played part of a song which you could BARELY HEAR! I mean, come on. And you know it's only because Google wants to make money off music. They don't care if there's copyrighted artwork in a video. You can upload a video of an image of the Mona Lisa, in HD, for an hour and get no copyright claims.
Hi Fran, I’m a new subscriber. The best way to raise your revenue is to add ad’s throughout your videos . I’m sure RU-vid might expand your video if they feel as if more revenue could be made from advertising. Just my opinion. Love your content though.
RU-vid is hard imo! In order to continue to get an increase in subs, I've found you have to do two videos a week. If you have a gap for a week or two, everything starts to drop. It's hard to maintain Patreon support too. When I lost my job back in October I had a lot of support from people via Patreon, which secured my channel - but like you I have seen the pledges drop gradually and not increase, despite having the same or more Patrons. I am getting to that point again where I am thinking I cannot continue due to the way things stand and may need to just stop everything and focus on things outside of RU-vid.
Vary what you do Fran - make review videos. That seems to be the big thing lately on YT. You may pick up a different demographic, and then more veiws and possibly more subs.
Fran, it's ok. stop beating yourself up . We live in a world today of every man for himself . and of course, it all relates to money, money, money. sad but true. You can try and turn the tables to tell companies you are promoting their product. they might even pay you?. good luck. keep going. we need you.
It's the same with the music industry. Greedy and selfish people who do not realize that without the public they would not exist. How much do we have to continue to pay until its paid for? Never apparently. I boycott them all. There is life without them.A better life.
What about paid sponsorship? I maybe interested sponsoring a few videos. I have an advertising budget that usually gets spent on adverts in mags. Could either be either a separate video about a product or a short thing in a video. Seems to be fairly common on youtubers I watch.
In principle, the potential of making money from this comes up when demand is seen to exist. It would make sense to, instead of just blocking the content, per default first switch the content to monetized on the open video streaming platform (here: RU-vid) and collect the earnings for the detected rights holder to pick up. This party could then also react by calling for an individual deal with the uploader. A number of standard templates could be offered by the platform simplify the process. This would lead to a win-win situation more often than not, probably.
It really is a shame stuff like this is being taken down. I feel like there is an active force against archiving on youtube. Making this available for non-monetized viewing on here should fall under fair use. I have had so many archive channels I have been subscribed to permabanned aver this bs. It breaks my heart.
Fran, I hope you get all the things you could ever want. I loved listening to you all the more in this video. I know the subject matter is rough, but you're an excellent contemporaneous speaker. You're amazing when you go off-script.
Yeah, saw a video where someone was creating Skyrim (game) content and was given a strike for the game music...but not from the game publisher (which allows fan content) but some other clown that made a techno remix of the game music using samples of the main Skyrim theme... and it matched THAT content... 🙄. Things are getting stupid on RU-vid with this stuff...
I am sharing this to support you in the only way that I can. there is no way that someone in the UK should be able to copyright claim something that was done in and by NASA...ugh
Well this is a while ago now. Watching your video's for quite some time now and a bit more frequent past months. Like it a lot. Unique channel. Recently also saw a great vid on the Saturn F1 engine... wow..great education and not the usual shallow youtube conent. You seem to be a great person and also like you being able to tell stories without editing the hell out of it like most youtubers do.. makes it very real. I haven't got the $$$ to support you but thank you for sharing your work.
Eliot Brown Q: How can the material something is recorded on, which never left her premises, trigger a copyright strike? A: It cannot. RU-vid uses a filtering algorithm to compare uploads to known copyrighted content and a “hit” triggers an automated response. If the content makes it online, individuals can still flag content as their copyrighted content whether or not it truly is.
Oh Fran! SO very sorry to hear of this crap! RU-vid has gotten pretty strict/tight/cheap lately, while still screwing up accounts and how content is stored. I almost started my own channel, but after reading horror stories I decided not to. They take TONS of time to produce content, and there is some pretty awful/stupid/meaningless content that seems to have a large following for some unknown reason. I would love to contribute more, but I am financially strapped so I do what I can, but your channel is worth WAY more than I can give, and I can only wish the best for you. I will continue to watch and donate what I can because you do try and create excellent content. I just hope you don't fall apart and do take some time away from youtube as it has become alot for you and you DO need a break! Don't worry about us.... we will still be there when YOU are ready! Take care and all the best to you! Bill
It is happening with everithing... even the seeds for agriculture belongs to monsanto or Bayer or whatever........ it is going to happen soon with the air you breed
It will happen with your health. Segments of your dna will be owned by corporations. The editing medicine could do to cure you will not be allowed without royalty payment to the owner of that dna code
WTF are you talking about? If you buy seeds with content from Monsanto/Bayer then sure - they make a profit. Why shouldn't they? They're not just seeds - they're seeds with extra work put in. If you don't want to give them a profit buy your seed from somewhere else - it's a free market. I could go out and buy a bottle of oxygen. Why isn't it free when the oxygen was? Oh, I don't know. Maybe some extra work went into it.
@@pd4165 Sort of. If you have a strain of beans your family has been growing and handing down for generations you should be able to keep doing that right? Now if you give me some and I decode the genome of that strain guess what? I now own that genome sequence and can legally stop you from reproducing or altering that genome in any way. That is how big companies own seed stock. Simply decoding a genome gives them rights. If they decode your genome or any part of it they can now prevent you from altering it without their direct consent. They are not obligated to give that consent.
hey you True! It has actually happened. A farmer was selling his own seed stock, and was sued by one of the big conglomerate seed companies. I remember reading about it a couple of years ago. Pretty ridiculous, but that’s where we are now....
To make matters worse, sometimes the free music RU-vid provides is used in a film and the filmmaker copyrights their film, which causes the free music which others have used to get a copyright notice.
A lot of creators run into issues with YT. I've used music blips for intros that I got off sites that swore up and down that were trade mark free, free for anyone to use for any purpose, only to get a tag. Not that I care, with about 200 subscribers I doubt I'll ever reach a point where money will be a consideration.
Interesting, I didn’t know that BBC had been to space, the closest thing they have to do with space is that they are run by a bunch of space cadets. 😜😜😜
Copyright claims against productions created by and or for NASA using money from the public Treasury (taxes) which all Americans have paid into. Copyright predators need to burn in hell. The anger and frustration in your voice is very apparent. I hope you get some kind of satisfaction at some point
The source of the problem is that copyright "owners" today use robots to find anything similar to what they have and send hundreds of such claims automatically every day. There is no limit to how many claims a single person or company can send out. You can easilly prove that 99% of the claims are false but while you are doing it double the amount will come your way from other similar guys. RU-vid just don't want to mess with it, they can not physically track a full copytight history and all legal aspects of each video (like doing and checking a legal poll for each video about its status), so they just shut down all the sources of trouble, no matter what caused it they just sacrifice the content and carry on. Just because it is the easiest thing to do and just because they can. You need government involvment to fight the abuse of law but since noone of who actually pays for all the thing to keep working really wants that to happen we are kinda stuck where we are. So I would just not bother and reupload to other platforms.
