Is the internet as free as it could be?

So some of you of course are familiar with my Youtube channel but for those who aren't that's where the name came from just FYI lol.  

Over the last few days I have been talking with a Android application software company based in Europe similar to other instances where I have had to ask permission to show video footage of an app for one of my reviews.  This is all fine and dandy* but instead of working with and being supported by companies like Youtube; I find I am more often having to defend myself from copyright claims.  I agree and understand that we DO need a policy in place to restrict those who steal, or make money on others creations and hard work but I have doubt in that policy working as good as it sounds in much the same way the current one we are using.

So, what am I saying you ask?  Well hell i'm not 100% sure but almost nobody ever is lol.  I'm just saying that openly advertising and praising a new application, song, video or any work that wants to be seen heard or read to it's audience should be handled better imho.  I have actually received written signed permission from app developers before to review and show their work to more people(for free) to only have Youtube and miscellaneous non-legitimate companies file copyright claims my way!  It becomes frustrating in the end and more trouble than it's even worth.  I hoped my viewers would understand when I gave up on weekly Android app reviews and for the most part I received much understanding as I figured out what was next? 

I started to focus on other aspects that I enjoyed or want to get better at.  So far I have decided on preparing foods and music/expressionism.  Of course even posting music I enjoy has it's limitations so I have already had many songs I enjoy and were uploaded and ready to share with my viewers to be muted once again(sad).  I communicate with fellow content creators and viewers about how to make the content better without infringing on copyright?  I mean yes we can pick up a trumpet and learn to play our own music but that's not what some of us want to share and yes we can buy a plane ticket and go to the Hawaiian islands to take a picturesque portrait but somehow that seems unlikely for most of us lol.  I know I know, I may be exaggerating but it's not at all far from the real life problems for internet users; which the last time I checked was just about everybody in this entire world!

Much like seeing segregation, same sex marriage and legalized marijuana I am confident that new laws will be written or updated to reflect the modern times.  We are getting there but it's still just down the road a bit.  (patiently waiting loud mouthed internet guy)
