And yet here is another case where the apology is made, the apologizer blames ContentID, and on and on we go.

This is how it always is with these automatic content policing systems. And, since there are plenty of ways a video could use similar content, or even a copy of some part of some content, without being infringing, the automatic system fails at distinguishing that and sends out the notice anyway. Still, this is again highlighting a flaw within the ContentID system, in that, far too often, legitimate content either gets taken down or issued a copyright notice all because no human being actually has to look at anything before those go out. The Guinness people later tweeted out the explanation that ContentID was to blame for sending out the automatic claims. Guinness have now released those claims saying “sorry for causing concern, we know how distressing it can be to get these notifications,” signed by Dan. Now, Kosmic’s own video of the record and tons of other SMB speedrunners have had copyright claims made on their similar videos. From there, ContentID did its thing.Ībout nine months ago, Guinness put together a video profile on Super Mario Bros speedrunner Kosmic including footage from his record-breaking warpless run. speedruns being issued copyright notices because the YouTube channel for the Guinness Book of World Records uploaded a record-holding speedrun itself. The most recent example of this concerns tons of Super Mario Bros. Which is why this sort of thing keeps happening. These situations identify a flaw in the ContentID system, or the use of an automated system of any kind, and yet we never do anything about it. Whenever this happens, there are usually apologies issued, blame cast on ContentID for the mistake, and then everything continues on with no changes made.

That theme mostly centers around how the automagic copyright detection system that YouTube put in place is mostly useful for creating collateral damage on non-infringing material, often times at the expense of the rightsholders themselves.
