Copyright infringement happens all the time, especially online, as you can guess YouTube is one site that will be particularly fussed about this, so they're now educating their users and punishing those users that are violating copyright laws.

Folks from YouTube are doing their best to prevent copyright infringement on their website, and in order to educate their users what copyright infringement is, they have decided to make some changes. Now if you violate someone's copyright on YouTube, and your video is reported, you'll have to attend the copyright school, which is actually a video about copyright that you must watch, and answer a copyright quiz after the video.

Of course, if you violate someone's copyright, you'll get a strike, and if you repeat copyright infringement again, you'll get another strike, and after three strikes, you'll get your account suspended. Of course, it is possible that you get your strikes removed if you keep to good behavior.

As you can see, this is quite the entertaining way to educate people about copyright infringement, but will it put an end to copyright issues on YouTube?
