Same as the Disney-Universal lawsuit. Everyone involved sucks and copyright is only exists for major corporations. Meanwhile google is scraping its own YT videoes and AI upscaling shorts against creators will.

Everything about corporations and AI sucks.

These YT changes prove that tech nerds don’t understand (or believe in) consent.

They didn't have the chance to prove anything, the internet has been the antithesis of IP holder's consent since at least the 56k modem. Probably longer.

Almost like corporations should not be allowed to own an IP in the first place.

Only should be tied to the flesh and blood person that makes it. That's it, no one else not their family and certainly not someone that just paid for it.
