YouTube has become a significant partner for Hollywood in legal streaming, even as it still hosts numerous copyright-infringing materials. Research by Adalytics found over 9,000 copyright violations on YouTube, with content including theatrical films, Netflix exclusives, and popular TV shows. These unauthorized clips collectively received more than 250 million views. Notably, the live-action Lilo & Stitch was viewed over 200,000 times, risking substantial financial losses for Disney. YouTube utilizes Content ID to combat copyright issues, though questions remain regarding its effectiveness.
Adalytics identified over 9,000 alleged copyright violations on YouTube, including full-length Hollywood films, Netflix exclusives, and popular television shows, accumulating 250 million views.
The unauthorized uploads included major studio productions, like the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch, which was viewed by over 200,000 users, risking millions in revenue loss.
YouTube's Content ID system flagged 2.2 billion potentially infringing videos last year, as claimed by YouTube spokesperson Jack Malon, asserting efforts to manage copyright issues.
Adalytics founder Krzysztof Franaszek expressed doubt over Content ID's functionality, suggesting it does not effectively prevent piracy despite YouTube's initiatives to combat copyright infringement.
