Part 6/9:
A core concern voiced by Ryan is that companies seem to misuse the DMCA process by claiming rights over entire videos without precise evidence or timestamps. This practice effectively silences creators, limits monetization, and can threaten their channel's survival. Ryan criticized Sony and Naughty Dog for their apparent strategy to file broad, sweeping claims—"absolute nonsense," as he described it—intended more to curb negative criticism than to protect legitimate rights.
He demonstrated this point with screenshots showing how claims did not specify particular portions of the videos but attacked whole pieces of content, even for small snippets like images appearing briefly during critique.
