youtube and take downs
My question involves a scenario:
Say a person made a video/cartoon/artwork on an art forum, but after a while they took it all, asking people not to upload it anywhere (essentially an NDA). Her account is still active and on the locked post (which can't be edited), it's dated and stuff, saying not to distribute their art/videos anywhere. I believe she does even have a little NDA notice on the art pieces/videos itself.
While I know that this is the internet and it's forever out there, is there any legal footing for a case like this? Could the artist/creator have their content taken down from youtube using this as evidence of NDA?
I assume there is legal footing since the person doesn't want their art/video out there anymore. While they can't get it all off the internet, if they caught it on youtube, they should be able to get it taken down with that evidence along with evidence of ownership, I assume.
If she did go and try for a take-down, will youtube put her email and name on blast? If you tried to go to the deleted video, will it have her information on there or will it have a simple generic message since she's not a big company like Disney. I'm only asking this because she has taken down videos from sites like mediafire before and they put her email on there and of course was harassed for a bit by the one that uploaded it.
She's been able to take it down from mediafire, google drive, and sites like it, but I'm a little unsure on how youtube would handle it. Would it be just as easy?
