... OH GOD.
Everyone, I just had a terrifying thought. A terrifying thought, indeed. And if what I think is true, then we YouTube users and lovers are in a tight spot. A tight spot indeed.
Okay, so it's really easy to get a copyright claim on a YouTube video for 10 seconds of copyrighted material, right? You can even claim copyright on reviews, right?
Well, as I believe Squire Grooktook pointed out, people are using the "no character limit" thing to post essays, novels, and scripts for movies.
That's copyrighted material. In the comment section. And each video has a comment section exclusive to that video.
So, in theory, doesn't that mean that YOU CAN CLAIM COPYRIGHT OVER A VIDEO'S COMMENT SECTION NOW?!
In other words, DID THE BULLSHIT JUST GET WORSE??
