Some of it is pretty ridiculous though, with completely unrelated companies and entities claiming copyright on videos. Like Hearst Magazine UK claiming copyright on a Last of Us Quick Look.
But Slay is right, no one should be surprised companies are taking advantage of the system to just flag everything they possibly can to see what sticks. Because Google will of course side with the entity that has the most wealth over individual users. I don't particularly care if someone is able to make money anymore off review videos or let's plays of a game, it just seems like a sad state of affairs in terms of companies being able to abuse content flagging to their heart's content.
To me it reads as bad for everyone down the line whether people recognize it now or not. I'm sure certain game companies are already making those first steps into becoming like the RIAA & MPAA.
Because what truly makes the Internet great is strict regulation, scrutiny and restriction of sharing of creative content. Those things totally helped it become the most invaluable and important tool of the 21st century.
