However many services including YouTube implement their own copyright enforcement system independent of the DMCA which leave content creators with even fewer protections.
I actually understand Youtube's prediciment here when it comes to Copyright and enforcement of it. For the most part I think the system works well enough, the problem is when entire channels get automatically nuked. This should not be allowed to happen, its beyond ridiculous that this is even possible.
I still contend that any channel with over say 100k subs, for want of an arbitrary limit, should require the direct sign off of the Youtube CEO in order to get
entirely deleted.
Sure there are over 100,000 channels with over 100k subs, but how many of them would have to be
genuinely deleted? Almost every one of these people is a professional Youtuber.
