Paying money is technically bootlegging, which I would argue is massively worse than piracy. But only because piracy is whatever.

its a resource like any other. use it, abuse it... while you can. with the impending browser restrictions the world might change a bit. a tiny bit.
Not if people would wake up and just use freaking Firefox which Google has not (that great of) control over. I feel it's such a simple solution but somehow the Internet users collectively seem to have decided that they'd rather enjoy ads.
I think Google justifies the whole process with ads. Sure it's all piracy but you come for the music, pirated or not, and they sell ads to you and someone gets paid revenue. I think YT would have an easier time of it if they improved gemini and integrated it as a DJ like spotify has its own music DJ.
China has the right ideas on copyright. I don't give two shits if someone steals my music from YouTube, I make it for the joy of making it.

As long as they get to profit from it and not you, then it's not piracy for them. If a record label wanted to sue Google, they would have a hell of a time.
What's your beef with the tagginator bot? It's certainly better than the reddit repost bots, right?
Is my understanding correct that Youtube only cares about paying the music right holders? (Because those complains the loudest?) That is, if someone creates an AMV by combining audio and visuals from different sources and uploads it to Youtube, Youtube only gives the monetize profit to the song owner, but not the visuals rights owners?
I like your style! Keep it up! We live in a world where people are increasingly choosing to live in delusion.
