I am somehow annoyed by their policy. Either they do it consequently or leave it. I can understand that copyright infrigments violate the rights of the owner. So it would be nice if its dealt with everywhere the same way.
Here is what Youtube write about videos not being allowed in specific countries:
QuoteVideo not available in my country
Some YouTube content partners choose to make their videos available only to certain countries. For instance, they may only have the licensing rights for a particular region. On occasion, YouTube does block specific content in order to comply with local laws in countries where YouTube has launched. For instance, certain Nazi imagery is unlawful in parts of Europe.
Then they also write:
QuoteWhat is your policy on copyright infringement?
YouTube respects the rights of copyright holders and publishers and requires all users to confirm they own the copyright or have permission from the copyright holder to upload content. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable copyright laws and promptly remove content when properly notified. Repeat infringers' videos are removed and their accounts are terminated and permanently blocked from using YouTube. For more information about YouTube's copyright policy, read our Copyright Tips
So maybe some of the lawyers here can help me and possibly others too.
Either someone own the copyright of his work or not. Means his copyright is valid all over the world and not on specific parts of this world. Example: If I create something very constructive - modern arts whatever - then i own the full copyright and other rights like rights of use etc. of my work. Here in Germany, the US - and every other states or places on this world. It remains my work, remains it in Germany, remains it even in China. Its my work. Or is there something i dont understand with this copyright?
Youtube - like stated - tries to protect the copyright of the owners, but break their own rules if they allow the usage on other places of this world. Strange if you ask me.
So anyone here who can try to explain this? Just curious if its something else than money
