Investigate the Legality of the new YouTube "Content I.D." system.

Created by M.T. on December 12, 2013

Dear Mr. President,

It has come to the attention of most people that a new system to fight copyright infringement has been implemented on YouTube.com, by either YouTube themselves or by Google, Inc. Many content creators on the site have had their online videos flagged by the new "Content I.D." system that has been put into place. What has outraged many people online is the fact that many YouTube personalities and celebrities are now losing their well-earned revenue from these videos, and it is not even by the actions of the numerous companies that have been identified as "claiming" the content. What we want to see is the complete investigation of the legality of the system as a whole and to hold either YouTube or Google, Inc. responsible for these actions
