"... instead of protecting copyright on these videos, a handful of Hollywood studios, including Warner Bros Discovery and Sony, secretly asked YouTube to ensure that the ad revenue from the AI-heavy videos flowed in their direction"

@TheBreadmonkey amazing news. I can't wait to see AI Slop destroyed and exposed for what it is.
@TheBreadmonkey I don't get this. Isn't "This video is infringing my copyrights, so send me its ad revenue" one of YT's standard ways of protecting copyright?
Not telling the infringer that you're doing it is probably new, but won't they figure it out when they compare their view counts to their ad income?
(Also, YT's ContentID sucks, and gets horribly abused in many different ways by the MPAA/RIAA cartels, and I'd like to make it clear I don't support it. But it is what YT has atm)
