My "favourite" reply of a user to my question about her take on copyrights was the following. She had covered a song from a famous artist and I asked her about her sync licence which you actually need when performing a song that is not yours in a video. Here we go (get your popcorn ready):
This is the beauty of Dtube. If an artist was unhappy that their song was covered on Dtube - they wouldn't be able to have it removed. They also wouldn't be able to get revenue from ads because that is not how Dtube is monetized. Because Dtube pays out within seven days - they cannot claim future royalties on the cover.
I had to take a deep breath after that one...
We're definitely lacking education in terms of copyright!
She's in for a rude awakening. Her misunderstanding of DTube, copyright laws and the DMCA is frightening and I fear she is just one of many.
My "favourite" that I've seen on YouTube is when someone uploads a complete movie or music video and in the description, they'll write, "no copyright infringement intended, uploaded for educational purposes."
