Ted Talk and Copyright Reflection

After watching the Ted Talk and Copyright Youtube video I learned several new things. I learned that: 1. The corporation can find a copy of a video even if the creator only copied a small part of the video. 2. The corporation allows the copy to be published and benefit from the video- example the wedding video using Chris Brown's song. Sony got revenue from it. 3. If you have content that others are uploading your information to Youtube you should register in the content ID system so that you don't miss out on benefits and you control how your content is used. I agree that: 1. we need to manage the material being copyrighted 2. the content owner should get credit and have control of how their content is used. I disagree with: 1. How the person copyrighting does not get into any trouble or gets blocked for taking someone else's content. 2. How some companies get revenue or how others get credit for stealing other's content. Questions: How can we try to lower the number of people getting credit of benefiting from someone else's work? On average, how many videos uploaded are copyrighted?
