Washing machine chime scandal shows how absurd YouTube copyright abuse can get
Samsung's catchy end-of-cycle jingle gets caught up in YouTube copyright drama.
TL;DR: for a whole decade YouTube allowed a copyright troll to claim all the rights on a recording of a washing machine end cycle chime
The account of the copyright troll is still standing and it's not permanently banned
IMHO in this case YouTube should permanently ban at the first offense any copyright troll that maliciously claim as their property something that's in the public domain
Also: if it wasn't that it affected a big streamer with lots of followers, YouTube would have ignored the problem

In 2021, YouTube announced that it had invested "hundreds of millions of dollars" to create content management tools, of which Content ID quickly emerged as the platform's go-to solution to detect and remove copyrighted materials.
Content ID was introduced in 2021? Only 3 years ago? I thought it was significantly older.
Dunno if they meant something different or typoed the year.
Or they just made an announcement in 2021 about their existing content management tools and how much they've spent on them over the years. That's how I read it anyway.
Our water is now free of trans fats. “Wait you mean it had trans fats before??” Well… no.
