Nvidia's DLSS 5 video taken down due to copyright issue after news site uses the footage

Yeah, not only is there no human vetting these requests, but to counter these you have to give up your name and address. So bad actors can easily use this to dox YouTubers.

Youtube's copyright system is notoriously bad, and their AI systems in general have been particularly bad in recent months. But this might be the most egregious example yet since all the videos were nearly a month older than the one uploaded by the news channel, and could easily be handled by having a single human looking at this mess at ANY point.

I don't even necessarily see this particular instance as being the best evidence of Youtube's system being notoriously bad. What they probably need to do to fix it, if it isn't already available anyhow, is give uploaders the ability to claim parts of their videos as copyright protected, and then disclaim other parts. Meaning they would be obligated to mark the video portion (and possibly audio depending on if they were talking over the video or not) where they used a snippet of Nvidia's video as not under their own copyright protection, while still protecting the rest of their video and audio. I also have no idea of how their content match/content ID system works to know the technical challenges that could be involved in doing this, and surely some other issues could arise from this implementation as well.

Even then, if you count that Youtube doesn't have such a feature like that already as a mark of how broken their system is, I don't necessarily agree in spirit. I agree on a level that it is broken, but it's broken because it's borne from laws that are so broken that there's really no way to address with technical solutions. Upon this incredibly broken copyright law, Youtube has constructed a system that attempts to balance the legal requirements of a completely fucking broken assortment of laws with the business gains to be had of streamlining some semblance of copyright management on top of it.
