Owing to copyright infringements, a YouTube channel that archived a lot of Apple’s WWDC videos has been removed completely from the platform!
The channel contained several original videos of Apple’s WWDC event, some dating back to 2000. As it was forcibly removed, the owner of the channel is now trying to upload them to Internet Archive . We shall see how Apple tackles that, as it has countered many such publications in the past.
Taking Down Copyrighted Content
An Apple fan who archived all the WWDC event videos in his YouTube channel is slapped with a DMCA notice over copyright infringement. Citing this, Apple has YouTube disabled his channel completely!
Brendan Shanks, the uploader of the now-defunct Apple WWDC Videos channel, has shared an email with The Verge regarding this infringement. He hosted several short videos of Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conferences (WWDC), with some dating back to 2000.
Congratulations Apple, you took down my YouTube channel containing hundreds of…20-year old WWDC videos. Wouldn’t want anyone learning about Mac OS X, Darwin, Aqua, or WebObjects ???? @tim_cook @pschiller @gruber @jsnell @ismh @mjtsai @reneritchie @reckless pic.twitter.com/w2UgVqOubF — Brendan Shanks (@realmrpippy) November 4, 2022
