An unusual case has surfaced that shows us the differences
between a YouTuber and a Peruvian television station. In early
February, 2016, The Peruvian YouTuber Andysane published a video on
his Facebook page in which he staged a "public lawsuit"
against Latina, a Peruvian television producer. Latina was taking
all the credit for and pocketing the royalties from a video that
the YouTuber authored.
It all began with a feature that Latina broadcasted about the
most successful Peruvian YouTubers. They included the video
"Exposing Golddiggers in Peru" in the segment, which was
posted by Andysane. Up to then, everything was fine. But the
television stationg subsequently decided to upload the feature
story to YouTube and protect it with a Google tool called Content
ID. This allows users to inform YouTube that parts of their videos
are original and to track videos on the web page that are similar
to the video protected by Content ID.
