He wrote that the copyright holders are “left with the choice of spending hours each week seeking out and sending notices of those same copyrighted works, or allowing their intellectual property to be misappropriated.
That letter was followed by a Capitol Hill roundtable in December that included three content creators — Direct Cinema’s Mitchell Block, musician Maria Schneider and Millennium Media’s Jonathan Yunger — along with Ruth Vitale, the CEO the CreativeFuture, who argued that Content ID could be made available to more content creators or that their other copyright tools could be more effective.
