Content ID is a major part of how copyright currently works.

It’s literally not a part of how Copyright currently works. It’s how Google automated copyright claims on their platforms.

None of my creative works are in Content ID. People are not being sued through Content ID. Content ID flags stuff and at worst removes it. It is up to the copyright holder to decide what they want to do.

No it doesn’t. It would work like Copyright currently works.

I don’t need my works to be in any database for them to be protected by copyright. I simply have to declare their license or have the license be assumed by not declaring it. That’s how it already works. You, the owner of the copyrighted works, has to sue the infringer. It’s not an automated process. Your ‘likeness’ doesn’t need to be in any database if you can prove they used your likeness. Content ID was an attempt by Google to automate the removal process on their platforms so they could wash their hands of the problem.

Is Google your government?

Do you also think all of your creative works are in a government database somewhere?
