T-Bone Burnett Wants Copyright Act Reviewed

Producer and artist T-Bone Burnett has released a five-minute video asking congress to review their DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) and place more of the blame on internet piracy on such digital providers as YouTube.

Specifically, Burnett says that the current method of allowing providers to put in place provisions for take-down notices in lieu of taking any responsibility for policing their own sites as a “digital black hole”.

Currently, most providers will allow content to stay on their site until they receive a take-down notice from the person/company whose copyright is being infringed. They then give the offending party time to respond to the take-down notice before actually removing the post from the site.

YouTube, in particular, has taken more of the responsibility in recent years, using “sniffing” software to review all newly posted content and compare sound signatures with a database in an attempt to pro-actively start the removal process.

Still, Burnett says it is not enough.
