Speaker Notes Slide: 7
Restrict means for mature audiences only. When a video is restricted we do not allow it to show on our "honors" pages.
MD5 only catches exact duplicates. Any change in file size will not match and therefore won't get caught.

Here are some common-sense rules that will help you steer clear of trouble:
YouTube is not for pornography or sexually explicit content. If this describes your video, even if it's a video of yourself, don't post it on YouTube. Also, be
advised that we work closely with law enforcement and we report child exploitation. Please read our Safety Tips and stay safe on YouTube.
Don't post videos showing dangerous or illegal acts, like animal abuse, drug abuse, or bomb making.
Graphic or gratuitous violence is not allowed. If your video shows someone getting hurt, attacked, or hum iliated, don't post it.
YouTube is not a shock site. Don't post gross-out videos of aCCidents, dead bodies and stuff like that. This includes war footage if it's intended to shock or
disgust.
Respect copyright. Only upload videos that you made or that you have obtained the rights to use. This means don't upload videos you didn't make, or use
content in your videos that someone else owns the copyright to, such as music tracks, snippets of copyrighted programs, or videos made by other users,
without their permission. Read our Copyright Tips for more information.
We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we don't permit hate speech which contains slurs or the
malicious use of stereotypes intended to attack or demean a particular gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or nationality.
There is zero tolerance for predatory behavior, stalking, threats, harassment, invading privacy, or the revealing of other members' personal information.
Anyone caught doing these things may be permanently banned from YouTube.
Don't try to cheat the system. No gamed thumbnails, spamming tags, or creating dummy accounts that do things a human wouldn't do.

Speaker Notes Slide: 5
Sexually Explicit content, Graphic Violence, Hate Speech, certain dangerous or illegal acts, etc.

Speaker Notes Slide: 4
Company's name will be identified on the down page (same for non-CVP as well)
If you look at our numbers about 80% of all videos come down using this tool.
We are currently working on an awareness campaign to let the public and content owners know about this tool.

Counter Notices, protecting partner content, importance of countering to remove strikes
Copyright Notice link also has application for CVP

2,192 DMCA removals for all other Google products combined in April 2007

Speaker Notes Slide: 3

Speaker Notes Slide: 2
Content SQUAD is YouTube's ConOps team
Policy - Content Policies, Legal Compliance, Law Enforcement relations, etc.
Abuse - Harassment, privacy, (child) safety, through email and Live Site escalations
Copyright, Live Site and User Support via email (our focus)
Google Video - still doing content review, copyright enforcement, user support, etc. - Sunsetting - i've heard that the purchasing part of gv will go away
around 6/10 - video search launches on 5/16, and no real sunset date for Google Video uploads. Gut feeling is Q3.

Re: DMCA Help Center content

Hi Yoojung,
Here are my notes on these items:
1. Do I retain copyrights..... ? - Yes, keep this, but we need to modify the
response to point to the YouTube TaU.
2. How can I tell if a video is copy protected? - No, we don't need this we don't use DRM.
3. Copyright Notice -I don't think we need a notice of who owns the YouTube
interface/software, it will just cause confusion from users looking for
other Copyright info.
4. What if I have been falsely accused of copyright infringement? - Yes, we
need the response to point to the YouTube OMCA policy pagehttp://www.youtube.com/t/dmcaJJolicy
5. What should I do if I don't have the rights .... ? - Yes, we need this
response, as well as possibly other questions leading to this response page
(such as "Can I post
?") Our canned response for these questions
is: "We're glad you take copyright laws seriously - YouTube does too. In
general, you must be certain that your video does not infringe someone
else's copyright before you upload it to our site. We cannot make this
determination for you, it's your responsibility to know the rules, but we
suggest you refer to our Copyright Tips at
http://www.youtube.com/t/howto_copyright. where we've provided some
guidelines and links to help you determine whether your video infringes
someone else's copyright. u
6. How do I report copyright infringement? - Yes, obviously. I like the
language about contacting the person who posted it, but we should talk about
whether we want to keep that (or just direct to the OMCA page). My vote
would be yes, keep it (it will discourage unauthorized persons from emailing
about infringement, hopefully).
7. What is your policy on copyright infringement? -It would be nice to post
our "policy" but we need to write something up first. We can't keep the
Google response because it implies pre-screening of material, which we
aren't doing. I would like to make this as detailed as pOSSible, with
approval.
8. What is public domain? - we need to decide whether or not we want to put
info like this into our help center.... Also "What is fair use? Isn't this
fair use" etc.
9. Is my video copyrighted? - The Google response to this is confusing, I
think. This could be seen as two different questions - A.) Is the content

I'm trying to upload already copyrighted? (meaning: can I post _ _ ?) or
B.) Is my originally produced content that I have uploaded onto YouTube now
protected by copyright? (meaning: "Do I retain copyrights? above) Maybe we
could give an interstitial re-direct answering these two questions
separately? Or just rephrase the question(s) ...

More questions:
Privacy/trademark/abuse/harassment - we need to finalize our policies on
these items before we can incorporate them into a Help Center.
1. Why did you remove my video when there are similiarlidentical videos
that remain on the site? (Do we want to publicly acknowledge this 'issue'?)

A: When we are notified or otherwise become aware that a particular video
uploaded to our site infringes another's copyright, we respond promptly, as
the law requires. If there remain videos on the site that appear similar to
the one(s) we've removed, we are likely either not aware of them or do not
have reason to believe they are infringing. Sometimes a copyright owner
authorizes some, but not all, of its works to appear on our site. Other
times, very similar videos are owned by different copyright owners, and one
may grant permission while another does not.
Please check out our Copyright Tips at
http://www.youtube.com/tlhowto_copyright. where we've provided some
guidelines to help you determine whether your video infringes someone else's
copyright.

2. I bought that video myself, why did you remove it? or I recorded that
video myself, how can it be copyright infringement? or I made those AMVs
myself, how can it be copyright infringement?
A: Recording a television show, sporting event, or concert on your video
recorder doesn't necessarily mean that you own all necessary rights in that
video to upload it to our site. This is true even if the event or show you
record is open to the public. For example, you may be able to a video tape a
professional sporting event, but the league or owner of the professional
event is generally allowed to control who captures images of that event and
how they are distributed, including digital recordings and photographs.
Similarly, video taping a concert of your favorite band does not necessarily
give you the right to reproduce and distribute the video images of the band
or the music captured in that video without permission from the music
publisher (who represents the song writer). Often times, these videos were
captured against the rules of the venue or sporting arena in which the event
took place, and someone specifically owns the exclusive right to distribute
video of that event and/or the accompanying audio track.
The phrase "derivative works· refers to creations such as remixes, where you
might take images or sound from a recording and edit it into something new.
Although the new video is your own creation, the images and sound you've
used still belong to someone else. It doesn't matter if you recorded it for
free from television, purchased a OVO, or recorded it yourself at an event-you still need permission from the copyright holder(s) of the material you
drew upon to make your new creation.

It may seem confusing that you could record something yourself and still not
own the rights to it, but this is the way US law is written.
Please refer to our 'Copyright Tips' at
http://www.youtube.comJtJhowt030pyright where we've provided some
guidelines and links to help you determine whether your video infringes
someone else's copyright.
If you have any questions about the rules to which you agreed when you
became a member of YouTube, please refer to our Terms of Use located at
http://www.youtube.comltlterms.

3. Can I download this video?

A. YouTube does not allow downloading of videos at this time.

I'm sure there is and will be more we can add to this.... Let's talk more
at the meeting tomorrow! :)
Thanks again,
Justin
