I co-host the Italian space podcast AstronautiCAST. On our YouTube channel we post beautiful timelapses and videos Riccardo Rossi makes from public domain NASA images and other media sources with liberal licenses (Riccardo pays a lot of attention to this).
For the past few months we've been seening a sharp increase in bogus YouTube copyright claims, from one every several weeks to a few every week or two. Riccardo disputes all the claims and 100% of them are released by YouTube.
What's going on? Are new AI copyright bots roaming YouTube and issuing lots of claims and false positives?
