Let's say you transcribed all your videos and published them as an anthology book to Amazon.

If someone plagiarized you in a viral video would you be able to use that book as a legal justification to sue for copyright infringement?

@basedbagel

Marcus Goldfinch has allegedly downloaded videos by Tim Ozman then published them by uploading them on another youtube channel

He then flagged Tim Ozman's videos sending complaints to youtube claiming that he is Tim Ozman to try to remove the original videos from youtube in a effort to censor Tim Ozman

Mark Goldfinch worked with Zena Warrior Princess & Hercules the Legendary Journey which are made by flat earth productions

Tim Ozman was in cosmological competition with Goldfinch

@basedbagel

If they turned your entire written book into a audio book and made money off the audio book without giving you a share without your consent and you can prove you wrote the written book earlier or registered it for copyright earlier then under our current law you could sue & or prosecute them

But if they just did a commentary telling their opinion about portions of your book they quoted then you might not be able to sue them depending on if it was deemed "fair use"

@basedbagel

I think I misunderstood your question after rereading it

You were not talking about transferring a book to a audio book in a video

But a audio book to a written book

The principles of what I said remain except you have to switch audio and text in my previous comments

@shortstories
My goal was to help creators who deal with plagiarism.

It's common for people to go viral off stolen content on YT to the point that the OG creator is considered a copycat

@basedbagel

That is what web dot archive dot org is for

Archive your work right away and prove you started it

Follow

@shortstories

It's not about archiving.

AFAIK a yt video isn't copyright protected but books are.

@basedbagel

It is copyrighted if you put on the copyright logo your name and the year embedded in the video to the best of my knowledge

And I think for $20 you can register it as copyrighted any time within a certain number of years after you publish it to the best of my knowledge

@shortstories

Didn't know that.

I wonder why creators bitch so much instead of filling a claim /lawsuit
