I Hope You Know This Will Go Down on Your Permanent Record

When it comes to copyright protection, YouTube has long had a policy of suspending users with three uncontested notifications of infringement. Until now. Starting today, offending users will instead be required to attend “YouTube Copyright School,” which consists of an online tutorial and quiz that must be completed successfully before more uploads can be made. Users with past strikes can also endeavor to have them removed via copyright school, but, as with all things regarding permanent records and the powers that be, forgiveness of past behavior is not guaranteed.
