Copyright Strikes on 'Altı Üstü İstanbul' Fan Edits Go Viral!
The newly premiered TV show, 'Just Istanbul' on ATV, has quickly amassed its own fanbase, not only stirring up a storm on television but also on social media. However, the fans of the series find themselves in a bind with edits, a common occurrence in other series and even shared by social media accounts and actors. The fans of the series are up in arms, claiming that the show has copyrighted their social media edits.
ATV's beloved summer series, "Just Istanbul," which is on a record-breaking run, has made headlines not for its rating success, but for the edits on social media this time.
Particularly in recent years, edits made by the fanbase of TV series are keeping their fingers on the pulse of social media. Edits made by fans of series such as Distant City, Overflowing Sea, and Still 17 are being shared not only by the fans themselves, but also by the official accounts of the actors or the series.
However, it has been alleged that the series "Just Istanbul" has caused edits to be removed by claiming copyright infringement.
Numerous fans who edit TV series have claimed that their edits have been taken down due to copyright strikes. The stance of the channels on this matter is mostly based on the following reasoning: Channels and production companies do not want the digital power and advertising revenue generated by millions of views of a cut scene from a series on social media to go to independent pages. For newly launched series, channel management tends to follow a much more aggressive copyright policy in the initial episodes. This is because crucial scenes, finale moments, or important dialogues instantly appearing as edits on platforms like X, Instagram, or TikTok can create a perception among viewers that 'I can just watch it once the edit drops'. This, in turn, directly undermines the TV ratings. Even though there has been no official statement from the production team of the series 'Just Istanbul' or from Atv, it is believed that this is the main reason behind the copyright strikes on the edits.
