A policy preventing Copyright owners from making $ on manual claims for:
Short song clips (ex: 5 sec of a song)
Unintentional audio (ex:
from passing cars)
Claimants can still block monetization or the video itself, but timestamps help you edit out the claim.
Hey umm... why couldnt you just make it to where the music companies cant control what happens with an appeal (i think thats what its called) because they could just extend the amount of time that their music is in falsely...
This is an important step (with more to come!) towards a better Copyright system for creators & music partners long term.
