Filing copyright claims rather than claiming a video

Shane said:
Yes, you unfortunately wouldn't qualify, even as an MCN it is extremely hard to be approved for.
You tend to need alot of exclusive rights (in one or more territories) for thousands of assets (videos, songs, sound effects, TV shows, Films etc) and in most cases those need to be non-YouTube/ UGC content.

Although in some ways I do like that plan because the system could easily be abused, sometimes not even on purpose. In December of 2013 the ScaleLab MCN accidental ContentID claimed some gaming videos in their Content Owner and ended up claiming 10s of 1000s of original gaming videos across YouTube..

That is why, as far as I know, Google has decided to stop the content ID monetization of a lets play content, right?[DOUBLEPOST=1444746498,1444746330][/DOUBLEPOST]

@Scapestrato asked me why I file copyright claims on stolen videos rather than claiming the video to get additional revenue.

1. I'm not with a network and I don't have access to Content ID. I don't have a 'claiming' option..

Quiz Group could provide you content ID. So if you are interesting one day, just let me know ;) I believe this is only reason when a channel should consider to join a MCN.

I don't lose enough revenue to justify the amount of money I would lose by joining a network.
Besides, that MCN is part of the problem. They couldn't pay me to join them.

For larger channels that is the reason I would give :p

For smaller, the concept when done right has always been the same, Content Creators are good (mostly) at creating content so they should be able to focus on that without worrying alot about the business and growth side of it. (Though of course with smaller channels it will be tools they can use & scaled support instead of someone physically helping them but it is still better than going it alone imo, atleast with some MCNs' toolsets).

With all of that, don't you have the feeling that the MCN is the last century "thing"? Atavism

Nope, I just think we need MCNs to re-focus on being MCNs.

From what I observed at Vidcon, the general thoughts were either "We need to get funding so we can make long-form/ films for Netflix/ TV/ Vimeo" or "We need to heavily invest in long-form/ films for Netflix/ TV/ Vimeo" for approx. 75% of MCNs.
Less focus on producing long-form content for the top stars and a re-focus on helping the greater network of creators is greatly needed.
