Part 6/9:
The potential for abuse associated with the CMS tool raises ethical concerns. Users with access can place manual copyright claims, generating income from videos that may only include a minor use of their content. Some creators resort to underhanded tactics, purchasing fleeting rights to video segments and subsequently filing copyright claims to profit from the views generated by other creators' original content.
Moreover, these users have the authority to either accept or deny disputes on claims, creating a monopoly over content ownership that can threaten channels' livelihoods. This vulnerability has led to significant financial losses for many creators, who find their work exploited through spurious copyright claims backed by the CMS tool.
