| Who the HELL are "Scripps Local News?" | eluhn | 8/6/12 12:35 AM | And what gives them the right to block NASA's own footage of the Mars rover landing??? Youtube's crap policy of "block first, ask questions later" has got to stop! |
| Re: Who the HELL are "Scripps Local News?" | concretephila | 8/6/12 12:45 AM | Same thing happened to me. Total BS. |
| Re: Who the HELL are "Scripps Local News?" | Saur | 8/6/12 3:17 AM | More proof of how completely fucking retarded Google are as a company. How the hell can you allow such an important event to be falsely blocked on copyright grounds? Google are an absolute embarrasment of a company, the sooner they go down in flames |
| Re: Who the HELL are "Scripps Local News?" | JDoors | 8/6/12 5:43 AM | Scripps is a news service like the Associated Press or Rueters. If you try to use THEIR content, regardless of where they got it from, they every legal right to object. If the source material is public domain then use the source material, not Scripps |
| Re: Who the HELL are "Scripps Local News?" | concretephila | 8/6/12 5:57 AM | Thanks for being case-specific, Sherlock. The point here is that the only video footage of the Mars rover landing was originally hosted by NASA coming directly from the NASA UStream channel. Therefore, how can any other entity have rights to it exc |
| Re: Who the HELL are "Scripps Local News?" | Saur | 8/6/12 6:01 AM | What you talking about JDoors? Scripps actioned a copyright claim against NASA's Youtube channel for broadcasting footage they themselves created. The footage in question is the landing of the latest Mars rover, are you honestly suggesting this foota |
| Re: Who the HELL are "Scripps Local News?" | anmoose | 8/6/12 8:52 AM | If they blocked NASA's own footage uploaded on their own channel, then it is in NASA's hands to dispute the claim and/or take whatever other legal action is necessary against Scripps. You have absolutely no rights or authority in the situation, nor d |
| Re: Who the HELL are "Scripps Local News?" | PeggyK | 8/6/12 9:06 AM | NASA's video was restored a while ago after only being down a few hours: http://www.youtube.com/nasatelevision I'd like to think NASA is taking action against Scripps, but they probably have their hands full at the moment. |
| Re: Who the HELL are "Scripps Local News?" | JDoors | 8/6/12 9:17 AM | I don't know the details of every copyright claim ever made, but I do know if a news program uses footage, even public domain footage, their news program is still protected. If you used it from their news program, not the original source, you're step |
| Re: Who the HELL are "Scripps Local News?" | Videodave2 | 8/6/12 1:29 PM | But, the point is that NASA was the original source, and for Scripps to file against them is reprehensible. This was not a robot, it was a DMCA notice filed against NASA for posting material that not only is Public Domain, but, was actually made by N |
| Re: Who the HELL are "Scripps Local News?" | lauschin | 8/6/12 1:45 PM | Youtube's Content ID system auto-claimed NASA's video based on a reference file uploaded under Scripps Content Management System, as the system is intended to work. It's possible the claim was a mistake (as automated systems can be known for commiti |
| Re: Who the HELL are "Scripps Local News?" | Videodave2 | 8/6/12 1:45 PM | It was reported by several news sources that it was a DMCA, but, it looks like it was actually once again the stupid content ID robot. The people reporting it, apparently don't know the difference between the two ways of removing a video. |
| Re: Who the HELL are "Scripps Local News?" | eluhn | 9/12/12 1:51 PM | It was NASA's *own footage,* which they made and posted themselves, for god's sake. So if you shoot with your own camera an event that you yourself have put on, and show it on your own channel, they can swoop in and claim it for themselves and block |
| Re: Who the HELL are "Scripps Local News?" | eluhn | 9/12/12 1:58 PM | That's utterly moronic. Scripps filed a false DMCA takedown, claiming content that wasn't theirs, which is a violation of federal law. In any case, the burden of proof is supposed to be on the person making the accusation, not on the party being ac |
| Re: Who the HELL are "Scripps Local News?" | eluhn | 9/12/12 2:07 PM | Whatever way it's done, it's still prior restraint. Letting a computer do it instead of doing it yourself does not lessen the crime. And YouTube's policy of "guilty until proven innocent" makes them an accessory. |
| Re: Who the HELL are "Scripps Local News?" | markimatang | 9/13/12 1:10 PM | We seem to be missing a common source of error for the CID. A copyright owner must have EXCLUSIVE rights to content that they add to the CID reference files. Scripps Local News probably just added their broadcast files to CID and those files containe |
