EVE General Discussion

It all depends on how it mingles with the IP laws (intellectual property). A company has to protect their IP, if they fail to do so, they loose all rights on it, allowing anyone to profit from it, including people who just use it to scam.

So if this laws treats it as 'IP must be defended or loose it' deal, it's bad news. Maybe some sort of solution can be found by forcing people to put a disclaimer at each youtube vid they post about eve (genre *I am not afflifiated with CCP games in any way, bla bla bla*

But someone with better knowlegde on this matter can correct/improve on what I said

Your second question needs to be asked before the first one, because there is an answer to that, rendering the other one moot anyway. CCP have stated in the past that they love seeing what players concoct on YouTube, and frequently show off player-created videos containing EVE and DUST footage on Facebook, Twitter, and elsewhere.

As for whether or not CCP makes money off this footage, that's entirely up to them. If you're making money off their intellectual property, that's also entirely up to them. But I have a non-monetized channel myself and plenty of EVE content of it, and not once, ever, has one of them had a copyright claim made against it. Not one. Additionally, I've never heard of a copyright claim made against an EVE or DUST video on YouTube.

However, this does not change the problems with YouTube, and a number of my other videos from other games, particularly Lucasarts games, HAVE experienced claims, even though they're not even monetized. The Let's Play videos aside (because let's face it, they provide free access to almost all the content of any given game for anyone to peruse, free of charge, which I consider a good thing but also debatable where copyright law is concerned), YouTube has taken the automated content ID system a little too far.

I, for one, have transfered all videos with copyright claims taken against them to DailyMotion. Not as popular, but gathering momentum. I've never had a copyright claim taken against a video uploaded there.

Considering all of the facts that I have gathered I am pretty appalled myself about Youtube (Google) and the rights we have as people to display our gaming experiences, we still have the copy rights to our videos as owners and we can keep that as far as I know. If I set my copy rights as a Creative Commons License to which I have then that gives me rights that Youtube can't violate.

Even if I used videos from the past which are now seriously outdated I still have the license to protect my works along with the IP owner as well. This covers us both as the owner and myself are covered under the laws of the US, and there's nothing that Youtube (Google) can do about it.

FLY RECKLESS

They're working out better than communist dictatorships, theocracies or "the cult of Putin"

That's a rhetorical question.

"CCP legal permission to post three (3) YouTube videos, now only 1 PLEX!"




This is true. The USA is a prime example.

no you are not

Just saying, all this "Red tape" youtube seems to be putting on their site seems to be getting a bit over-the-top. If they keep going the way they are, I can see the site eventually dying out.... Only a matter of time.

Recently Youtube flipped the switch and turned on a bot that scans videos for copyrighted materials and submits a complaint on behalf of the copyright owner.

So far, from what i have been reading about this issue on other sites, is that the videos in question are getting Ad Revenue from Youtube. Last I knew is that CCP does not allow anyone to make their youtube videos generate income of any sort and would violate the EULA.

Also, most of the content being blocked it because of music. If people use custom music, there seems to be few issues, but somethings are still being blocked based on the video content.

most of the youtube shanking has been done via an automated system with regards 3rd party content the publishers ,nor the dev studios have the rights to i.e. the music and or clips from movies and tv shows (possibly big name voice acting also but im unsure).
in the case of music , its usually licensed for the publisher to monetise via the game they used it in but for any sort of machinema or independent content you simply shouldn't have it in there.
Trailers fall into this as well
same goes for fmv's, its all rather convoluted but with something like eve you shouldn't have any issues,
and if you do , there are ground for you to contest it as ccp endorse content produced from eve/dust and id imagine Valkyrie.

Would be funny if the only game videos left on YouTube were EvE Online videos.
