True but I guess YT does all that already.

They certainly didn't effectively deal with repeat offenders (as even the DMCA requires) when one such offender was ripping off significant amounts of content from one of my businesses and uploading it over and over again with slightly different titles etc. In fact, they gave no indication of even acknowledging the problem or being at all concerned by it.

Are you a large movie studio with access to the ContentID system? Then you'd be able to just claim any video you like, with no penalty for false positives...

I'm certainly not disagreeing with you!
> If no authorisation is granted, online content sharing service providers shall be liable for unauthorised acts of communication to the public of copyright protected works and other subject matter, unless the service providers demonstrate that they have:
> (a) made best efforts to obtain an authorization,
This would require YouTube to enter into license agreements with artists the same way Spotify does.
> and (b) made, in accordance with high industry standards of professional diligence, best efforts to ensure the unavailability of specific works and other subject matter for which the rightholders have provided the service providers with the relevant and necessary information,
This means that if Sony Pictures, for example, provided YouTube with digital copies of all of their TV shows & movies that they own YouTube would need to make their best effort to catch violations of Sony Pictures' copyrights via the "upload filter."
> and in any event (c) acted expeditiously, upon receiving a sufficiently substantiated notice by the rightholders, to remove from their websites or to disable access to the notified works and subject matters, and made best efforts to prevent their future uploads in accordance with paragraph (b).
That means once YouTube receives one takedown notice for content they're expected to include that content in their "upload filter" going forward.
