   I just got a copyright claim against a video I posted on youtube 10 years ago.

   The video is a film by Georges Melies that was shot in the 1890s.

   Someone is attempting to claim copyright over a film that is 130 years old, who's director died 86 years ago.

   Now 1) I don't give a shit about this clip on youtube. 2) The person who made this claim is clearly in the wrong. 3) I can't be the only one that they have targeted illegally. 4) Youtube is a problem.

     As an archivist, let me say clearly:

     Modern copyright law is actively harmful to the preservation and study of our culture.

     It harms artists by giving undue power to publishers. It harms artists by limiting remixes. It harms preservation and research efforts.

     It's broken. It's bad. It should be massively reformed.

     @ajroach42 @mikoto Sadly, those who truly wield the power to change it will never do so because they are too comfortable with the current system. :blobfoxdisgust:
