Last year I uploaded some old footage onto Youtube.. the footage was from WW2 that was filmed by US Gov. I saved it from a site that went down in 2000s and wanted to put it up for my cousin who was studying WW2 in HS.<p>In less than 24 hours, there were 4 different copyright claims by various companies. Over a 20 min clip. They obviously didn&#x27;t own the copyright but they were claiming the clip as their own and wanted cuts of revenue.<p>About two years ago I uploaded an animation that I did in Apple Motion and it used stock sounds and music from Apple. Within a day of upload, I received a copyright claim by some company and they demanded I remove audio.<p>From my brief experience with Youtube&#x2F;Google&#x27;s Content ID system and the way they do business, I&#x27;m really glad I don&#x27;t have to deal with this mafia on a daily basis.
