YouTube creates team for reducing flawed video takedowns

YouTube has taken steps to prevent mistaken takedowns of videos. And now, in a response to mounting complaints to its automated copyright system, the company has revealed that it created a team focused on "minimizing mistakes" that take videos down without a legitimate cause, VentureBeat reports.

It's also promising transparency when it strips videos of revenue, and there are hints of efforts in the months ahead that will strengthen communications between YouTube support and video makers.

YouTube says, however, it hasn't seen a significant boost in the number of flawed takedowns.
