but apparently getting your videos monetized or demonetized is a pretty big deal (which I guess is getting ad revenue for the ads that run in advance of videos).

Does this mean someone like my daughter who uses music in her dog agility videos can be subjected to the law if she did get paid something for them? She doesn't get any money from it now, and she probably shouldn't use copyrighted music - but really.

On the other hand internet piracy is like a parasite - it will eventually suck the host dry if it continues.
