Question: You notice someone has uploaded a video to YouTube that you own. What’s required if you wish to request a copyright takedown?
- Your attorney must submit a formal request to a court.
- Anyone can flag a video, and a copyright takedown notice will be sent to the person who uploaded the video.
- As the copyright owner or authorized agent, you must submit a fully completed notification of copyright infringement.
- Person who uploaded the video must admit to using copyrighted material.
Explanation
A copyright removal request must be submitted by the copyright owner or an authorized agent. YouTube requires a complete notification of copyright infringement with the required legal details before it can evaluate the request. This process is separate from general video reporting or viewer flagging. The uploader’s admission is not required for YouTube to process a valid copyright request.
Why the other options are incorrect
Attorney court request is incorrect because YouTube’s takedown process does not require a court filing by an attorney.
Viewer flagging is incorrect because flagging a video does not submit a formal copyright removal request.
Uploader admission is incorrect because enforcement does not depend on the uploader admitting infringement.
