I thought you guys would be interested to know that we just got another copyright claim at MEGA. This company representing MGM just filed a claim against a video that contained nothing but my face and voice! Last month's episodes of STARGATE SG-1 was, of course, just face cam and timer so people could sync up and watch along with me. These scumbags went ahead and filed a copyright claim anyway!

Of course, I've already filed a counter-complaint, and there's no action against our MEGA account, as it takes 3 claims for them to take action, but I am furious about this whole thing and just thought I'd share this with you guys!

Apparently, they don't bother to watch videos they file claims against; they simply read titles and go ahead, as they know they won't face any consequences for bogus claims.

These companies making a complete mockery of the DMCA system has got to stop at some point!

This copywrite claim culture is beyond ridiculous. I saw somewhere that a streamer did a reaction on stream, and the original poster got a strike because the system identified the streamer's reaction to the video as his content and the OP just re-uploaded it. SMH

I worked in Hollywood, primarily production and finance, for almost a decade. The copyright claims will always exist because it gives a lot of companies room to create losses from copyright infringements. These numbers will always be far larger than the actual money they would lose. Walgreens and CVS use this methodology in SHRINK.
