It has been 4 years since "Wolf" came out.
As a well-known "suffering" game, "Wolf" still maintains a certain degree of topicality and attention today after 4 years of release, and the hardcore high-difficulty challenge perfectly fits the program effect that various anchors and content creators are striving for, and on many video platforms, "Wolf" has naturally become a popular choice for many video authors.
However, at about 9 p.m. on May 23, a large number of "Wolf" content creators on Youtube, the world's largest video site, received a somewhat strange copyright warning, because the claim was not initiated by From Software, but by Japan's TBS TV.
This wave of copyright cannons has affected not only the content creators of the recent update of "The Wolf", but also videos that have been forgotten years ago, even video authors with only a few hundred fans overseas, and for a while, almost everyone is asking: "Who is TBS?" ”
Wolf is developed by From Software, and published by Activision and Cube Games. In Japan, the copyright management of "Wolf" is directly handled by From Software, and slightly influential content creators need to obtain their prior consent to post relevant videos, no matter how you look at it, Japan's TBS TV should not be associated with this video game.
"Permission obtained from From Software Co., Ltd."
But soon, everyone also figured out the situation, the incident originated from Youtube's Content ID protection system, and the initiator was TBS TV employee "Unai Risha".
The Content ID system is a copyright protection measure introduced by Youtube, through which copyright owners can allow Youtube to actively detect suspicious videos, and when a video appears that is highly consistent with the content they created, Youtube will automatically send a copyright claim to remind the other party to delete or modify the suspected plagiarism part of the video.
On May 17, TBS TV announcer Risa Unouchi uploaded a video of the battle with the "Whip" on his Youtube account, and accidentally turned on the switch of Content ID. Probably due to the lack of rigor in the review, almost all the "Wolf" videos that fought against the scourge were judged to be plagiarism, and Youtube automatically placed a large number of copyright warnings, so there was this oolong drama.
Because Youtube is extremely strict with copyright issues, videos that received copyright warnings were automatically canceled, causing dissatisfaction among video authors. Fortunately, at present, Youtube officials have withdrawn their complaints, and Unuchi Risa has also deleted the relevant videos and issued an apology statement on the official website of TBS TV, which solved this international problem in time.
Recently, copyright disputes have broken out on the platform of Youtube, and more and more content creators have been inexplicably deprived of their own video revenue. The original intention of copyright protection is to protect the rights and interests of creators, and perhaps Youtube should continue to strengthen management in the future to avoid such ridiculous problems.
