[NCUC-DISCUSS] Olympics in copyright trouble

[Grace Githaiga]

@GraceNot necessarily. You tube does pull down based on their user policies and suggestions or complaints from the community. And flagging of videos is synonymous. See more here http://www.youtube.com/yt/policyandsafety/communityguidelines.html#communityguidelines-respect

So there are times when intermediaries pull down content based on third party complaints? I was always under the impression that there had to be court order.Curious to know who requested the take down.

​YouTube has removed an official song for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics due to “multiple third-party” complaints of copyright infringement.The song, called “The Ice and Snow Dance”, had come under fire after various reports and YouTube users said it sounded too similar to “Let it Go”, a song featured in Disney’s 2013 hit film “Frozen”.Instead of showing the video, a YouTube search for the Olympics song now displays a notice stating that the “YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated due to multiple third-party notifications of copyright infringement”.​

The logo for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games has been ditched following an allegation that it infringed copyright belong to a Belgian artist.<snip>The emblem, created by designer Kenjiro Sano, has a black block in the middle of a square shape with curved triangles in two corners. It also features a red circle similar to that on the Japanese flag.Belgian designer Olivier Debie claimed that the design was similar to a logo that he designed for theatre company Théâtre de Liège in 2013.
