the troll bridge

clippety clop, clippety clop.

WHO DARES WALK ACROSS MY BRIDGE WITHOUT GIVING ME GOLD?

get bent. it's not even your bridge.


OH. I SHALL ALLOW YOU TO PASS. ...THIS TIME.


oh, thank, you, magnanimous troll! 


well, that's not really how it happened. how it happened is i filed that claim dispute and the troll "released its copyright claim".



Dear ehrlenmeyerflask,
BFM Digital has reviewed your dispute and released its copyright claim on your video, "esquibeth, the corrected". For more information, please visit your Copyright Noticepage
Sincerely,
- The YouTube Team



what this boils down to is that copyright trolls like BFM Digital get to make unlimited fraudulent claims on content they do not own and then they get to adjudicate their own claims.

so tough luck for you if they don't release "their" claim.

it worked out ok for me, but it still burns my butt that i had to risk the deletion of my account to assert that the troll did not own the material. there is no penalty for multiple fraudulent claims by these trolls (BFM Digital is not the only one, if you care to do only a little research) and it is a growing business practice for the trolls to claim administration of content they do not own or administer, and then by virtue of having made a fraudulent claim they are then entitled to run advertising and profit from material that is not theirs.

clippety-clop.
