YouTube Updates Process for Reporting Copyright Violations

YouTube is updating the way it handles manual copyright claims with changes that should make them much less of a headache for video creators. Owners of copyrighted content — like a record label or a movie studio — will now have to say exactly where in a video their copyrighted material appears, which they didn’t have to do in the past when manually reporting infringement.
