RE: #Blocktalk - Steemit and DTube Interview- IPFS, Cryptocurrency and Blockchain

in #blocktalk • 7 years ago

Great opportunity having both of you @ned and @heimindanger on the same screen talking about the future of Steem!

I appreciate that you highlighted copyrights and explained how DMCAs can be handled on the Steem blockchain - that's a really important point, especially seeing the fast growing number of users. Adrien, you're right the community is self-controlling that issue in a certain way, and that will become even more important in the future.

The community receives incentives to do good things over and over again.

That's it.

Also I think many people share your vision for the next 5 years, Ned. Getting as much as entrepreneurs with their web applications on the Steem blockchain, being supported by SMTs is a big target.

The value comes with them.

Well said.

I guess all of us will be happy to contribute to that vision in the way we can. Steem on!

    I agree about addressing how copyright infringement is handled. There are those who think that DTube is a license to upload copyrighted videos and that they are untouchable because it's decentralized. They are in for a surprise when the major movie studios send them a DMCA takedown notice. Add to the fact that anyone can see how much a video earns so the studios will know exactly how much in damages to sue for.

    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."
