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.
YouTube has a history of action showing a lack of commitment to either copyright holders or creators.
This move is designed to make YouTube $ by further obfuscating around #DMCA & Safe Harbor
