Youtube to Quiz Copyright Infringing Uploaders

Under increasing pressure from copyright holders in the music, film and TV industries, YouTube has introduced its Copyright School in the US. Now anyone posting content that breaks copyright will have to watch an education video and pass a quiz to be allowed to post video files again.

The video features cartoon characters Happy Tree Friends and a slightly tongue-in-cheek voiceover that warns users their account will be terminated if they infringe copyright. It also explains how fair use applies in the US as well as what content users can and cannot upload.

YouTube is now imposing a 'three strikes' policy when receiving copyright complaints. Users can erase strikes against their account by complying with YouTube's terms.

Glad i'm pitching my uploads from now on so i don't have to go through that BS.

I saw that the other day. It really made me laugh. I doubt it will change anything. Most people know what copyright law is. :rolleyes:

I second that. If YouTube thinks that will help... they are wrong.

Not gonna work. Users are gonna keep doing it. It's like a financial aid student who's on probation, and the college gives them a quiz to pass so they can get their disbursement (don't ask where I got this. >_>). YouTube needs to think of something that's much stricter than THAT.

I'm a moderator at another forum, so my
