“This bill jeopardizes not only classified ads sites but also dating apps, discussion forums, social media sites, and any other service that hosts user-generated content,” said Emma Llansó of the Center for Democracy & Technology in a public statement opposing the bill. “Smaller platforms will also face the real risk that a single lawsuit could put them out of business.”

FYI, this is why Tumblr et al are freaking out and suddenly banning things.

Looking at the biggest supporters of the CDT (that you quoted) cdt.org - Financials - Center for Democracy & Technology confirmes it - Google, Facebook, Silicon Valley.
They can shove THEIR internet as THEY have it right now up their ass - they had their get-out-of-jail-free cards dealt by policymakers far too long already. Zero responsibility because "it's all user-uploaded content!" but at the same time they make BILLIONS with it. Fuck that.
Sure, they offer ads, but have you or anyone you know ever had their images, videos or print stolen by Google and sold?
To be clear: I have no problem with someone using my photo if they'd just ASK first. I do have a problem with YT profiting from it, indirectly. If they profit directly or indirectly from something that I created, then I'd like to get my share, please.
This way, MILLIONS of creators are being ripped off - and Facebook, YT etc. etc. are lining their pockets. Every minute, every day. I'm quite baffled that you're not even aware of this.
As for the relationship between YouTube, you and someone who pilfered your images, I have no idea. I know YouTube gives the option to challenge a user's videos, but I have no idea what criteria YT uses to determine if it's a copyright infringement.
And, there's always the possibility it falls under the Fair Use Doctrine, depending on how it's being used.
And no, there is NOT "always the possibility" that it falls under fair use. The problem is: that can only be determined individually, in court. Which brings us back to...
Well, nevermind.
And, since you believe YT shouldn't sell ads on your content even when - especially when - someone else uploads it, you're okay with not being in search results, even when it's your own portfolio? Google makes money on that, too.
It's not like it's a zero sum game for them! They make a SHIT ton of money. on the backs of artists. And then look at what they do to protect THEIR intellectual property - patents, lawsuits, etc. etc. - but yes, ARTISTS need to "accept" that their intellectual property is being used without license, rights or compensation... wow, you're really wired the wrong way on this, Jason. Give artists a share. It's only fair.
