These reference files will then be used by Content ID to find similarities and matches between them and the content uploaded by other users.

You(Tube), Me, and Content ID PAVING THE WAY FOR COMPULSORY SYNCHRONIZATION LICENSING ON USER- GENERATED CONTENT PLATFORMS INTRODUCTION Ever wonder about how the law regulates your cousin’s wedding video posted on her YouTube account? Most consumers do not ponder questions such as “Who owns the content in my video?” or “What is a fair use?” or “Did I obtain the proper permission to use Bruno Mars’s latest single as the backing track to my video?” These are important questions of law that are answered each day on YouTube1 by a system called Content ID.2 Content ID identifies uses of audio and visual works uploaded to YouTube3 and allows rights holders to collect advertising revenue on that content through the YouTube Partner Program.4 It is easy to see why Content ID was implemented—300 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube per minute.5 Over six billion hours of video are watched each month on YouTube (almost an hour for every person on earth),6 and it is unquestionably the most popular streaming video site on the Internet.7 Because of the staggering amount of content 1 See A Guide to YouTube Removals,ELECTRONIC fRONTIER fOUND., https://www.eff.org/issues/intellectual-property/guide-to-youtube-removals [http://perma.cc/ BF4Y-PW6E] (last visited June 6, 2016).

  • SCMS 2019 Conference Program
    CELEBRATING SIXTY YEARS SCMS 1959-2019 SCMSCONFERENCE 2019PROGRAM Sheraton Grand Seattle MARCH 13–17 Letter from the President Dear 2019 Conference Attendees, This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies. Formed in 1959, the first national meeting of what was then called the Society of Cinematologists was held at the New York University Faculty Club in April 1960. The two-day national meeting consisted of a business meeting where they discussed their hope to have a journal; a panel on sources, with a discussion of “off-beat films” and the problem of renters returning mutilated copies of Battleship Potemkin; and a luncheon, including Erwin Panofsky, Parker Tyler, Dwight MacDonald and Siegfried Kracauer among the 29 people present. What a start! The Society has grown tremendously since that first meeting. We changed our name to the Society for Cinema Studies in 1969, and then added Media to become SCMS in 2002. From 29 people at the first meeting, we now have approximately 3000 members in 38 nations. The conference has 423 panels, roundtables and workshops and 23 seminars across five-days. In 1960, total expenses for the society were listed as $71.32. Now, they are over $800,000 annually. And our journal, first established in 1961, then renamed Cinema Journal in 1966, was renamed again in October 2018 to become JCMS: The Journal of Cinema and Media Studies. This conference shows the range and breadth of what is now considered “cinematology,” with panels and awards on diverse topics that encompass game studies, podcasts, animation, reality TV, sports media, contemporary film, and early cinema; and approaches that include affect studies, eco-criticism, archival research, critical race studies, and queer theory, among others.

  • The Next Great Youtube: Improving Content Id to Foster Creativity, Cooperation, and Fair Compensation
    BOROUGHF_FORMAT3 (DO NOT DELETE) 3/27/2015 1:39 AM THE NEXT GREAT YOUTUBE: IMPROVING CONTENT ID TO FOSTER CREATIVITY, COOPERATION, AND FAIR COMPENSATION Benjamin Boroughf* ABSTRACT YouTube prides itself on its automatic copyright detection and filtering program known as Content ID because it goes beyond YouTube’s legal responsibilities under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and because it allows copyright holders to control and profit from their content. However, Content ID is not the technological paragon YouTube and some scholars see it as. By relying on a system that automatically matches, blocks, and monetizes videos that allegedly contain any amount of infringing content, both YouTube and copyright holders have promoted a system that opposes the Copyright Act and YouTube’s goals of promoting creativity and protecting fair use. Without earlier human review and involvement, this costly Content ID system is susceptible to false positives and accidental matches, harming the public’s access to new forms of creativity. Without limiting monetization to the proportion of matched content in a video, Content ID also encourages copyright holders to take advantage of the hard work and creativity of YouTubers by stripping away all of their monetary incentives. This article demonstrates why these problems exist and it sets forth a proposal that seeks to slightly modify Content ID to better align it with the Copyright Act and YouTube’s own goals, while encouraging communication, cooperation, creativity, and fair compensation between copyright holders and YouTubers. * Attorney, Appellate Division, Illinois Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission. J.D. 2014, Chicago-Kent College of Law. Sincere thanks to Professor Edward Lee for providing insightful comments and direction, and to the Freedom of the Internet spring 2014 class for providing valuable feedback and discussion.

Major content rights holders in the movie and music industry assert ownership rights of content on video upload platforms, and the application of the fair use doctrine to such content is largely unclear.

Music videos Available online 17 April 2015 hold top positions in different YouTube charts, but the music video types or engagement patterns with them have not been systematically studied. In this paper we present three studies that focus on Keywords: YouTube music. We first show that music videos are the most popular content genre in YouTube. We then Digital music present a typology of traditional and user-generated music videos discovered in YouTube. It includes YouTube twelve subtypes of music videos under three main types: traditional, user-appropriated, and derivative. Music interaction Last, we present findings on user engagement statistics that go beyond view, comment, and vote counts. Appropriation These metrics show that while music videos gather more views, engagement differences with other Music listening content genres are miniscule. However, there are notable differences in engagement between different music video types. This is prominent between different artists on one hand, and between traditional and user-generated videos on the other. We synthesize these findings by discussing the importance of user-generated videos in YouTube’s music ecosystem.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by Youtube
    Written evidence submitted by YouTube “YouTube has been a great support to GRM Daily as platform [sic], and have [sic] been willing to partner with us and amplify our brand even in these difficult times.” - GRM Daily, entertainment platform and YouTube channel with 3.4 million subscribers1 1. Background Google appreciates the opportunity to submit comments in connection with the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee’s inquiry into the economics of music streaming. This submission focuses on YouTube Music (since Google Play Music will be deprecated by the end of 2020) and describes our unique contributions to the music industry, whilst seeking to address each of the topics specified in the Inquiry. The Internet has enabled British creators, artists, and songwriters to connect, create and distribute new works of art like never before. A key part of preserving this creative economy is ensuring creators and artists have a way to share and make money from their content. YouTube accomplishes this in two ways in partnership with the music industry: with our subscription music service, YouTube Music, and our advertising-supported music platform, which includes content from rightsholders, creators, and artists, as well as original, user- generated content (“UGC”). Services that host UGC , such as YouTube, are stimulating an explosion of new creativity - by making it easier than ever for creators of all types, amateur and professional, new and established, to find their audiences - and generating significant income for rightsholders whose works are used in UGC. We think it is critically important, and recognise our responsibility to ensure, that artists, creators, and rightsholders benefit from their work.

  • Making Content ID Algorithms More Conducive to Fostering Innovative Fair Use in Music Creation
    UCLA UCLA Entertainment Law Review Title The Dilemma of False Positives: Making Content ID Algorithms more Conducive to Fostering Innovative Fair Use in Music Creation Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1x38s0hj Journal UCLA Entertainment Law Review, 24(1) ISSN 1073-2896 Authors Lester, Toni Pachamanova, Dessislava Publication Date 2017 DOI 10.5070/LR8241035525 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California THE DILEMMA OF FALSE POSITIVES: MAKING CONTENT ID ALGORITHMS MORE CONDUCIVE TO FOSTERING INNOVATIVE FAIR USE IN MUSIC CREATION Toni Lester* Dessislava Pachamanova** Abstract Content ID programs commonly use algorithms to block uploaded music when the algorithm concludes the owners of certain copyrighted works will claim their work is being used without consent. However, algorithmic enforce- ment programs can produce “false positives,” where legally allowable music associated with a reference file is inappropriately blocked. The phenomenon of false positives is especially problematic for songwriters, composers, exper- imental music artists and others who create music by combining their own vocal or instrumental performance with work created by others and “loops” from audio libraries. Balanced by such factors as how much a new work dam- ages the market for a prior work and how much of a prior work is used in a new work, the “fair use” defense allows songwriters to upload technically infringing work if the new work amounts to a critique, is in the public domain, or suffi- ciently transforms the original work to render it new. This article explains how Content ID algorithms are developed and interpreted and discusses how the fair use defense can sometimes limit the extent to which Content ID programs can block innovative music creation.
