I've seen your related posts but the explanation CL gave doesn't hold much water unless there are some significant details missing.
For example, how could YouTube possibly know that you accessed the Shutterstock content outside of PD?
Obviously the license allows you to access and embed that content in videos that are produced by PD, but unless you used specific CL/SS content in a video showing how to use a completely different editor (like Resolve or Vegas), how could they determine you'd violated the license terms? How would they even know what the terms are?
IMHO YouTube has no idea what's going on. Shutterstock requested the copyright takedown strike on my video. As I previously stated it wasn't even a copyright situation, it was an EULA violation.
To your point, in most cases CyberLink and Shutterstock would not even know if someone else used the content in another program, but they didn't have to prove that in my case. They only had to prove that I accessed the content outside of the software which I showed in the video. Once again, that isn't copyright infringement.
(Can you tell that part bothers me a bit?)
My intent here is to make sure the forum is not in violation of the EULA as multiple posts here do the same thing I did in the video...show users how to access of the files outside the software.
