YouTube, Feeling Good About Content ID, Drops 15-Minute Limit On Uploads | paidContent
YouTube (NSDQ: GOOG) announced today that it’s getting rid of a 15-minute limit on the duration of videos uploaded by users.Your creativity isn’t bound by a time limit, so why should your video uploads be? Back in July we raised the upload limit to 15 minutes for all users. Starting today, we’ll begin allowing selected users with a history of complying with the YouTube Community Guidelines and our copyright rules to upload videos that are longer than 15 minutes.
Up, Up and Away - Long videos for more users
We recently reached an important milestone: we now have over 1,000 content owners using our content identification and management tools , including every major U.S. network broadcaster, movie studio, and record label.

Content ID and Fair Use
Over the past decade, the evolution of the Internet has altered the landscape for both traditional media companies and the doctrine of fair use, and the media industry has tried to keep up. The new ways that consumers create and distribute content are not a niche phenomenon. Hundreds of millions of people around the world now use the Web to connect and interact with content online, and a huge percentage of them go even further: they express themselves via parodies , celebrate their favorite videos with mashups, and use music in educational presentations .Two days ago, several of the popular Hitler Downfall parody videos were pulled from YouTube because owner Constantin Films claimed they infringed on the copyright. YouTube indirectly responded on its blog today by encouraging its users to dispute the takedowns through a process it already has in place for situations like this. YouTube’s only direct reference to the Hitler parodies was a hyperlink from the word “parody” in the blog post, but it’s clear given the timing that the Downfall takedowns were the reason YouTube spoke up.
