Skitty vs Copyright Law

"It was discovered third party content was in your video."


Skitty's response: ....What?

"You don't have to do anything! There maybe ads in your videos :P and the owner might force you to take it down but...no biggie!!!"


Skitty's response: I CAN'T EVEN DO COVER SONGS WITHOUT BEING COPYRIGHTED?!

America has lost it. A few years ago I could put a video about anything and not have been suspended for it. Now, YouTube has changed. The world has changed. You know who's the blame? Idiots. Copiers. People who literally rip videos off of YouTube and claim that they own it! Why people?! Yet...my friend had her video stolen by some chick off YouTube and NOT ONCE did they force her to take it down. This is what I have to say to YouTube. Either get your policy fixed and don't ruin it for every common-day user or don't bother to enforce it period. As much as I love YouTube, it really has changed. Now you can't do a wacky little song without being copyrighted. Now you can't post up anime music videos without the clips being examined and the music being taken away. It is a sad world. Where even the smallest signs of creativity is being ignored and outlawed, because someone "said" something to it first. 


The same thing with Plagiarism. How many people have wrote, typed, and even said the same sentences that I did today? How many people have said the word "the", "and", and even "if"? Too many to count. So why should a single sentence be owned by someone? That breaks the freedom of speech. Speech CANNOT be owned, because it is FREE. Same goes with written words. The first person who ever wrote/said the word "The" never claimed it as their own so why should pieces of written work compiled upon rules upon rules of punctuation and grammar be owned at all? The people who originally made these rules and sentences did not force us to quote them every time we put in a comma. The people who made these words never required us to quote them when we type in their word in every sentence! So how should we uphold plagiarism when technically everything we typed it owned by SOMEONE and yet they don't get credit for it, yet when someone writes a paper about it they HAVE to be quoted or else you get kicked out of College or a University. 


The world doesn't make sense anymore. We can own sentences now. We can own simple pieces of artwork. We can even own land. But in truth, we don't own these things at all. Do you think nature is going to stop throwing in tornadoes just because you own a house? No, it won't. The world should realize that.
