  • I don’t see how he could have violated his own license

    Because he gave others irrevocable permission, without any stipulations (including what platform they uploaded his content to), to upload his content. Period. It’s a contract, and as such he cannot after the fact come out and say “oh, well, I have a problem with YouTube so you can’t upload my stuff on YouTube anymore” because that breaks the contract (license).

    If the videos are monetized by the uploader, he has legal standing. But it’s not currently known or understood if he has the legal authority to pull the content because YouTube is profiting from his content. That’s up to a court to decide.


  • That’s a question for the court. It may sound cut and dry, but it’s really not. In the US legal system, other people don’t stop having rights just because you have rights. There are 3 entities at play here, the author of the work, the uploader, and YouTube, all of which have rights. But the author of the movie limited (intentionally) his rights by releasing the work under Creative Commons. The user has the right to upload the video to YouTube. That is not in question. The question is whether or not YouTube is beholden to the original Creative Commons license. They didn’t upload the media, and the media was legally uploaded and for all intents and purposes must follow YouTube policy which is their right to monetize.

    This isn’t a case of someone uploading a copy-written movie and YouTube making money off of it, it’s much more complex and anyone telling you different doesn’t understand the actual legal issue here.

















  • They say you have total control over it

    You do.

    yet I struggled with terminal blocking me from doing anything unless I run right commands

    I mean, would you prefer the terminal simply guess at what you’re trying to do and execute random commands?

    Looking for hidden files and all.
