And then only to the human creator who intends to bring the item to market. No more patent trolls.
That's patent law, which is something different entirely. Copyright only covers actual works, like books, video games, and TV shows, so there's really no problem with patent trolls here. Patent law is a completely different set of problems.
The real issue is the DMCA, and YouTube's extremely loose acceptance requirements for a copyright claim. Basically, pretty much anyone can issue a copyright strike without actually providing proof that they own the work in the video, so the bar is really low.
Yes, I did a confuse. You are right. But Patent Trolls suck too.
