A new rule on Youtube

Hey there o/

I heard 1h ago about a new rule on Youtube for the Copyright. I don't know if it changes something for the English Youtube but for the French Youtube, many "Youtubers" are "in the shit" (french expression, sorry don't know how to write it =.). Many of them made vids as a job, they earn money with it and can live with it (maybe with an other job to help). Many Youtubers made fanvid of a game/song or something else.


This rule mean that your video or channel can be delete or you won't be payed anymore because you put few sec' of a song, made a "Let's play" etc.
About the money, I agree with it (in my opinion it's normal if we're not pay for things we use in our vids) but not about the channel/vids' delete.

Maybe you heard about A.C.T.A. few months/one year ago. The new rule of Youtube is similar to A.C.T.A. and it'll be apply to Youtube only.

If this rule stay: goodbye farewell fragmovie on UT/new talent discover by their cover (as example: 331Erock channel made some metal cover of famous song from TV/movies/games) etc..


So my questions are:
1) Do this rule'll be apply to English youtube too ?
2) What do you think about this rule ?


(sorry if my English is so bad, I tried to do my best to explain :P)

It would be suicide for companies to block their video content from youtube. All that free advertisement they're getting from it.

I always check youtube for videos before I buy a game.

I forgot to say something in my first post:

The companies'll hold their money from advertisement. You'll be able to post a vid if the song (for example) stay only few sec. If you do that, then companies'll earn money.

Btw, some Youtubers'll be able to continue their vids because they got companies behind them so ad' will stay and they'll continue to earn money.

I'll try to get more information about it (except if someone have more and put what he knows here).

I just now that the rule'll be apply on January 2014.
