→ Reblog this on tumblr if you want, however much good that may do...Watch this video if you like video games, Let's Plays, YouTube reviews, or regularly create ANYTHING.
It's extremely important that everybody understands the consequences of sites like Youtube giving in to pressure from IP industries and allowing them to take ANYTHING down off the site without fear of anything happening to them, even if they use notices that make absolutely no sense and abuse the DMCA for censorship reasons. You could make something under fair use, NOT infringing copyright, and get your account closed under a copyright law, with potentially no way to argue the fact you have NOT violated the law.
I can't stress this enough. This is really damn important to be aware of if you don't want to be senselessly prevented from sharing audiovisual content on the internet. Youtube is the worst but you may not even be safe on other sites. Things are seriously screwed up.
Watch the video. TotalBiscuit says things more clearly, probably.
