The platform has officially terminated the access of Gold1Networks to the Content ID tools used for these claims. This outcome proves that collective scrutiny can compel accountability even when systems seem opaque. I appreciate the persistence that brought this matter to the attention of those responsible for enforcement.

Recently Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) try to bypass the EU sanction by helping a German company which is located in Berlin! [company information [Gold1Networks GmbH Blücherstraße 22 10961 Berlin, Registernummer: HRB 141493 B, Vertretungsberechtigter Geschäftsführer: Jens Ihlenfeldt]. the process for bypassing the EU sanction is explained following: German company has a special tools of YouTube (content id- G1NMENA) that can recognize all IRIB videos on YouTube have been uploaded by Iranian people for years and claims on all videos and monetize them for making revenue. this company sent an official email to me and approves they have a contract with IRIB! the revenue will be transferred to an Iranian person who is living in EU (the company denied to give the information of this person) and he will transfer money to Iran. it is estimated this revenue will be more that couple of ten million dollars per year.
A YouTube user named [G1NMENA] claims having contract with Iranian national TV (IRIB) for protecting their videos and claims having ownership of the copyright on thousands of videos uploaded on YouTube over several years by many Iranians. This way he has been making millions of illegal money. According to YouTube, G1NMENA is member of a network named [Gold1Networks] and operates his copyright claims, using credibility of [Gold1Networks]. Unfortunately YouTube’s approach to copyright gives the opportunity to such abusers to do whatever they want. Anyone can claim ownership of a video and YouTube accepts those claims quickly, but there is no easy way to tell youtube the claimant is fake and has no right in case that the claims are false. We hereby draw YouTube copyright department’s attention to the followings:
1- It is claimed that G1NMENA has a contract with Iranian TV. How YouTube is sure of validity of the contract? Who is legally entitled to sign on behalf of a governmental organization like Iranian TV?
2- According to copyright term and the public domain in the USA -updated on Jan 1st, 2016- (circular 38 of US copy right office) all works created by residents of Iran and published there are not protected by US copyright law. How someone can claim ownership of copyright on contents which are in the public domain? Why has YouTube awarded the content ID function to this scammer user? Why is YouTube acting against the US law?
3- Why there is no way to ask YouTube about validity of contracts and claims? Why our efforts are ignored for the sake of a fake claimant?
We urge YouTube to make a serious revision in its approach regarding copyright claims.
We also want YouTube to take an immediate action regarding this user [G1NMENA] and the [Gold1Networks] that we believe are abusing copyright terms of YouTube.

Reaching one hundred signatures highlights a shared recognition that the current copyright enforcement process is being misused. This milestone suggests that others are equally concerned about the financial implications of these actions and the accountability of the platforms involved.

How someone can claim ownership of copyright on contents which are in the public domain? How someone can claim ownership of copyright on contents which are made on private studio of real owner?
I've just received a copyright complain from YouTube that G1NMENA has claimed over it. I cut a 3mins funny part of a serial and I have no idea as how they could claim for the copyright... this's a false claim and I would like to see that Youtube close down their account due to the false claim.
I'm really sad about this issue kind of activities but the worse thing is, not getting any answer from youtube policy team or any body from google company.

This user is making false claims of owning rights to videos. He has been trying to make money off videos which he has no rights to and making money in an illegal way. Youtube does not seem to give this matter any attention, there are many people online complaining of the same user and his illegal activities. Kindly take this matter seriously, thank you.
I have a Persian music video channel and it seems I have to file dispute every day against Believe A. YouTube must stop this bullying
