I really enjoyed watching this video! Gillian's insights on protecting proprietary content in the digital space were not only informative but also practical. Great video!
Hey Gillian, I have a couple questions you didn't answer in this video: 1. what about people downloading your RU-vid videos and using it in a course? This has happened to me. A well known brand in another country has downloaded my videos and has been using them in their course. Is there any way to remove the download option from RU-vid? 2. what about another influencer taking your course, stealing the entire thing, and selling it as their own course? I've seen this happen a few times and it's not some shady $100 site, it's another content creator who has built up trust with their audience too
They didn't even ask for your permission to use your video on their course or credit you????! Did you ever reach out to them? Curious how you found out.
@@FreebirdMeditationsthere are two kinds of people who make original content on RU-vid. 1. Those who have had flat out theft of their work whether by blatant reuploading or by the much more sophisticated means of false copyright claim loophole, and 2. those who have not yet. I can only speak from my own personal loss both these ways, sounds like it’s never happened to you. I also strongly suspect here’s a market of speculative copyright claims that exists. It seems companies sell batches of copyright claims to speculate with each other like factoring companies sell batches of overdue credit accounts. YMMV. The only RU-vid response due to their one (1) actual job (which is never look like a publisher because DMCA safe harbour status) is always consistent: “RU-vid does not mediate copyright claims.”
“trademark” (TM) means almost nothing in court. Obtaining a registered trademark (R in a circle) is very expensive and time consuming. Then you HAVE TO pay to somehow monitor everywhere for abuses, and if someone abuses it you have to pay to go to court to defend it or risk losing your rights in your own trademark. People like synthesizer designers Tom Oberheim, and the late Robert Moog and Dave Smith all literally lost rhe legal right to do business under their own NAME this way. There no magical protections for intellectual property rights. Pirates will always pirate.
I'm not a fan of online+ website locking even PDFs... I always download them to read offline. Would be better to personally watermark each pdf, assigned to the user. The customer should not have to be inconvenienced because of pirates!
