YouTube Copyright Violators Sent to Copyright School

When YouTube receives a copyright infringement notification about a particular uploaded video, the alleged infringer will have to complete “YouTube Copyright School,” which requires watching a tutorial video and passing a quiz to prove the user understands the copyright policies.

If you violate copyright policies on YouTube, you will not be charge a fine, but you will have to go to Copyright school via Google Copyright Tutorial. Then, you have to pass a test before you can continue to use the online video platform service.

The tutorial video is less than 5 minutes long and covers all the legal mumbo-jumbo. Google’s intent is to educate users about the online video platform’s copyright rules and heighten awareness about protecting copyrights.
