Article 13, where do I start?
You see there, but no that's not it I've got an idea bear with me on this one
IQ vid IQ vid IQ da all right
If you're new to vid IQ
This might need a little bit of interpretation what you just saw. There was the human beatbox
Version of our vid IQ intro which usually goes like this
Thank you
Now this intro was very kindly made for us by an audio and podcast expert by the name of Mike Russell
But the problem is we've got no official documents saying that he created the sound effects
He gave his license to use his voice and the graphics are in there. Probably used from Adobe After Effects
Essentially who has copyrights on that intro without proof
You may also be wondering why I'm filming with such a basic setup with annoying stuff on the wall
Well, if we take a look at this, well, then we've got all sorts of stuff going on in the background
Let's see Batman Ironman the orange robot thing over there. No idea who that is. Actually WWE title is just off of shops
We have Spider Man shredder
YouTube subscribe pillow and get this Nintendo question mark block from Super Mario what I'm going to do here
This is video gaming blasphemy. I'm going to put a
Sony Playstation 4 wireless controller in this Nintendo product
Shigeru Miyamoto is going to be livid now
I didn't ask for permission from any of the companies who make unlicensed these products to put them in my videos
let alone what I just did with them, but
Does article 13 change Oliver now? I am barely just starting to understand this myself and I am by far
a copyright expert so I have no idea if I actually infringe on anything there so we have to take
YouTube's word on article 13 which reads like this with article 13 as currently written
Copyright matching tools like Content ID wouldn't help platforms such as YouTube to keep content the platform
Content ID works if rightholders use it and provide clarity as to what belongs to them however in many cases
Information on copyright ownership is missing or there is partial knowledge
Meaning that no system could accurately identify full copyright information
At the point of upload put simply a piece of content with partial or unknown ownership is to YouTube
Treated the same as a piece of content is a license and would have to be blocked
Oh and as I think about it, did I get permission from YouTube to use this snippet from their website?
And what about a spinning graphics in the background?
Well, I built like in Camtasia
But I'd have to prove to YouTube before it uploaded this video that I did all this in Camtasia with a license key
Come on article 13 is complicated. There's no dispute in that it's also scary
Think about the Logan Paul controversy ad pocalypse
The new YouTube monetization requirements on the vid IQ scare Amita they were about this big
Article 13 is this big it affects
Everybody in a monumental way, although the bill is being drafted in the EU block
essentially any Video Creator who creates content within that area
Will not be allowed to share that content outside of the EU and anybody who creates content outside of it
EU will not have their content be viewable by those inside of EU you might call this a
Video content Iron Curtain to make matters worse. This would be a total and immediate block
This isn't the case of YouTube
Identifying that there's something wrong with the content and then adding the block
it's as soon as a video goes live and what makes it even worse is that this will apply to all
content
past present and future
Yeah, all those videos already on YouTube they could get blocked as well now
You may be thinking at this point YouTube would never do that. This is a complete overreaction
They would be harming their own income revenue streams to such a massive degree that it could put the company out of business
Why would they control the flow of video content in and out of Europe to such an extreme measure?
But simply YouTube will be liable for any copyright infringing
Yes
the video creator may be the one using copyright music or stealing somebody else's video contents but as the distribution
Platform YouTube are the one who would foot the bill now
We all know that Content ID on YouTube is not perfect many of you have probably had your videos ding ding correctly
we've copyright music claims and
duplication imagine the chaos there would be on the platform if YouTube had to analyze
every single pixel
Every single bit of sound on every single second of YouTube video content uploaded in Europe
It's just not gonna work
And for those of you thinking good, this is revenge against YouTube for D
Monetizing my channel or making it so hard to meet the requirements. This isn't just a YouTube thing
This is an internet thing. You cannot escape article 13
Let's take a step back for a second now
this isn't a bill against YouTube article 13 is designed in principle to protect the rights of
Creative artists to give them more power in the protection of their copyright content and that is definitely a good thing
But what we're seeing here in this digital age is an unintended consequence
but it's gonna affect all sorts of video creators on the internet whether it be
parody content memes
educational content all of these things are going to be drastically affected by
Article 13 if it's pushed into law as it's currently written
There is a lot more to this bill than just restricting video content in the EU
What I'm trying to do with this video is increase awareness for you the video creator
It's impossible to say just what the landscape will be on YouTube in 2019 as article 13 is not yet law
That's why we're talking about it right now this time last year net
Neutrality was a huge topic in the US and since then as an outsider
I have not really seen too many changes and I think there's a lot of opposition and
It's going through a very long process and it may never happen with my very uneducated point of view article 13
directly effects a lot more people and
Indirectly affects everybody on the planet the movement that's growing right now is hashtag. Save your internet. Yeah
It's that's important
My advice to you right now is to get educated on these subjects read the dedicated webpage on YouTube
Which will leave a link in the description and do some broader reading just to understand what?
Article 13 is in the broader sense and how it affects individual video creators just like you
Thank you very much for watching. Enjoy the rest of your video making day if we still have one this time next year
