Staff ReporterIn a surprising turn of events, YouTube has blocked the popular Eubert Angel Channel, citing concerns over the validity of a copyright notification issued by the channel owner. The email sent by YouTube to Eubert Angel outlined the potential legal use of copyrighted works in various countries, emphasizing the importance of fair use for transformative purposes such as news reporting, parody, commentary, or review.
According to the email received by Eubert Angel, YouTube stated, “We are concerned that your copyright notification may not be valid for some or all of the videos identified in your notification. Please keep in mind that in many countries, it is legal to use copyrighted works in specific ways without the owner’s authorization, particularly for transformative purposes such as news reporting, parody, commentary, or review.”
Furthermore, YouTube urged Eubert Angel to provide a detailed explanation regarding the alleged copyright infringement, stating, “If you still believe your copyright is infringed by the YouTube video(s) identified in your notification, please explain in detail why you think so. We ask that you provide more detail than was included in your initial notice.”
The email also included a set of questions for Eubert Angel to consider while addressing the issue, such as the extent of their copyrighted work used, the impact on the market for their original work, and the transformative nature of the alleged infringement. YouTube noted that the response may be shared with the uploaders involved.
Eubert Angel, a prominent figure on YouTube with a substantial following, has yet to release an official statement regarding the channel’s suspension.
