In the past few years YouTube has cracked down with copyrighted videos uploaded. The technology that YouTube uses is able to know what video and audio you are uploading if it is copyrighted, movies, programmes and all sorts of videos people watch on TV are already know within the YouTube database.
This is all well and good for the company's who want to protect their investment, some owners of the videos and music allow their content to be uploaded,others do not.
The issue that bothers me though is what about the people who use copyrighted content for creative purposes, video editors and music dj's are unfairly effected by this.
I myself have created music videos from movies and used music from artists I enjoy. I create a whole new video from the scenes and I love to share them on YouTube, I do not try and make any money from this just the enjoyment of creativity.
Other editors make custom trailers or "re-cuts" which are fun to watch, others edit videos for entertainment in other ways.
These type of videos are not effecting the owners profits nor effecting their copyright. The movies or music has been re-created into something new...and not the original content.
My view is there should be some sort of exception for these kind of projects.
